Page numbers FAQ
Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set the starting number, which is handy when a document continues from another file.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. pdfy processes your files inside your browser using your own device. Local tools do not upload documents. If you choose Save draft, that draft is stored only in this browser. You can confirm it in your browser's network panel: no file is ever sent.
Is it really free? Are there limits?
Yes, it is free with no sign up, no watermark on your output and no daily task limit. Because your device does the work, the only practical limit is your device's memory.
