Add Page Numbers to Your PDF — Fast, Free & Private
Need to add page numbers to a PDF before sending a report, thesis, or contract? iSharePDF does it directly in your browser — no file ever leaves your device.
→ Try it free — no sign-upWhether you are finalising a 50-page business proposal or paginating a scanned document for a client, adding page numbers by hand in Word or Acrobat is tedious — and cloud-based tools force you to upload sensitive files to unknown servers. iSharePDF takes a different approach: the entire operation runs inside your browser using local JavaScript, so your PDF stays on your machine at all times. Up to 5 tasks per day are free, with no account required.
Why process your PDF locally — and why it matters
- Zero upload, zero risk. Your file never leaves your device. No server receives it, no third party can access it. This matters particularly for contracts, medical records, or any confidential document.
- Free, with no strings attached. Up to 5 tasks per day are completely free — no credit card, no sign-up. Need more? Pro costs just 4.99 €/month or 39 €/year.
- Hosted in France, compliant with EU law. iSharePDF infrastructure runs in France. Your data stays within European jurisdiction and GDPR applies in full.
- No tracking, no ads. iSharePDF collects no analytics on your files or usage. What you open in the tool is yours alone.
