How it works

  1. Add one PDF, or several in the order they should be numbered.
  2. Choose page numbers, “Page X of Y” or Bates numbers; set the prefix, starting number, digits and position. A live preview shows the result.
  3. Create the files: separate PDFs in a ZIP with an index CSV, or one merged PDF.

Private by design

Your files are opened in your browser's memory and processed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored after you clear the workspace or close the tab.

Questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

Your files are opened in your browser's memory and processed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored after you clear the workspace or close the tab.

Does Bates numbering continue across files?

Yes. Files are numbered in the order listed, and the ZIP includes a CSV listing each file's first and last Bates number.

Are the numbers searchable?

Yes. Numbers are added as real text, and they're placed correctly on rotated and cropped pages.

LOCAL BY DESIGN

Your documents stay with you.

Perged reads files into your browser's memory and creates downloads on your device. It does not upload documents, save them to an account, or send document analytics.

Locked PDFs: files locked against editing are opened as page images so they can be worked on; their text isn't selectable in the output. Files that need a password to open aren't supported.

The website and its bundled libraries load from the host. File processing happens locally. Clear the workspace or close the tab to release the documents from this session.

Local processing reduces exposure, but your device, browser extensions and downloaded copies still need your usual security practices.

Works offline: after your first visit, Perged keeps a copy of itself in your browser, so the tools keep working without an internet connection. You can also install it as an app from your browser's menu.

Redaction: pages you mark become images with the covered pixels removed, which also removes selectable text, links and forms from those pages. Unmarked pages are kept as they are unless they share content with a marked page; you can also choose to flatten every page. Always review the downloaded copy before sharing.

Signatures: visual signatures only, added on top of the original page; no certificate signing or identity verification.
