“Page numbering in DocShift is a local operation — your document's content is never transmitted to any server during the stamping process.”
Most online PDF stamping tools require a server round-trip to apply page numbers. DocShift applies numbering directly in your browser with no upload delay and no exposure of your document's contents.
DocShift applies numbers across all pages by default, with the option to exclude the first page — useful for documents with a cover page that should not be numbered. For more granular control, split the document into sections, number each independently, and merge the outputs.
DocShift uses a clean, neutral sans-serif rendering for page numbers at a configurable size. The rendering is designed to be legible and unobtrusive at standard document margins, suitable for the widest range of document aesthetics.
Page numbers are stamped into a new content layer on top of the existing PDF. They do not alter or overwrite the underlying document. For documents with full-bleed content extending to the edge, numbers placed at the margins may overlap with existing content at the boundary — adjusting the margin offset resolves this.
