Add Page Numbers

How to add page numbers to a PDF

Adding page numbers makes a PDF easier to navigate, cite and print. Reports, contracts, manuals and handouts all read better when every page is numbered, and reviewers can point to "page 7" with confidence. This tool stamps a number onto each page in the corner or centre you choose.

The numbering is drawn onto your PDF in your browser. The file is never uploaded, so your document stays private. Pick a position and whether you want plain numbers or a "Page X of N" style, then download.

Step by step

• Choose a PDF.
• Pick the position and number format.
• Click Add page numbers to download the numbered PDF.

Why number in the browser?

Because it's done locally, your document never travels to a server — good for confidential reports and contracts. It's instant, there's no file-size cap, and no account is required. The numbers are drawn as real text on each page, so they print and display cleanly.

Common uses

• Numbering a report or thesis before printing.
• Adding references to a contract or legal document.
• Preparing handouts where people cite page numbers.
• Finishing a merged document with consistent numbering.
