Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I place page numbers?

You can place numbers at the top or bottom of each page, aligned to the left, center, or right. Six positions in total.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Transmute processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device — there is no server, no upload, no cloud processing.

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes. Set the starting number to any value. This is useful when your PDF is part of a larger document.
