See before you save

Change any setting and the preview updates instantly — the hero shows the first numbered page, and a thumbnail strip shows several pages at once.

— 02

Flexible formats

Plain numbers, padded (01, 02), "Page 1 of 12", roman numerals (i, ii, iii), or a custom template using {n} and {total}.

— 03

Book-style alternate

Toggle "Alternate left/right" to get page numbers on the outside edge — left on even pages, right on odd, like a printed book.

— 04

Scope control

Skip a cover page or TOC with "Skip first N pages", or apply numbering only to a specific range like 3-20. Start counting from any number.
