Managing professional documents often requires proper organization, and one of the most essential elements of a well-organized document is pagination. Whether you are submitting a thesis, a legal contract, or a business report, page numbers make navigation easy. However, many online tools require you to upload your sensitive files to a remote server, which poses a security risk.
Why Use The PDF Mechanic?
Our Add Page Numbers tool is unique because it operates entirely client-side. This means your PDF file never leaves your computer or phone. The processing happens in your browser's memory using advanced WebAssembly technology. This ensures that your confidential data—be it financial records or personal IDs—remains 100% secure and private.
