Add Page Numbers
Number the pages of any PDF with your choice of position, start number and style — processed locally, private and free.
Number the pages of any PDF so documents are easy to reference, print and discuss: choose where the number appears, what counting it starts from, and which style it uses. From legal bundles and academic submissions to meeting agendas and handouts, numbered pages stop 'page 3' from becoming an argument.
How to use Add Page Numbers
- Upload the PDF you want numbered.
- Choose the position for the page numbers on the page.
- Set the starting number and the style you want to use.
- Apply the numbering and download the finished document.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from a specific number?
Yes — set the start value to match your document's structure, such as beginning at 5 when the first four pages are covers or contents sections. The count then runs sequentially from that point through the document.
Where on the page do the numbers appear?
You pick the position — bottom corners, bottom centre or header placement — before applying. Choose a spot that doesn't collide with existing footers or content, and check the result on a couple of pages after downloading.
Does adding numbers change the content of my PDF?
The page numbers are added to your document while everything else stays as it was — text, images and layout are untouched. Your original file remains unmodified; the numbered version is written out as a new copy for you to download.
