How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF
Numbering a PDF takes three quick steps, all in your browser:
- Upload your PDF — drag and drop it onto the tool, or click to browse your device.
- Choose your style — pick a number format, a position on the page, a starting number, and a font size. You can also skip the first N pages, for example a cover page.
- Download the result — click Add Page Numbers and save the finished PDF with numbers on every numbered page.
Features
- Number formats: plain numbers, "Page 1", and "Page 1 of 12".
- Six positions: top or bottom, on the left, in the center, or on the right.
- Start numbering from any number you choose.
- Adjustable font size, so numbers match your document.
- Skip the first N pages — skipped pages stay unnumbered.
- 100% private: everything runs in your browser and your PDF is never uploaded.
- Free, with no sign-up and no account needed.
Good For
Page numbers are the finishing touch for reports, manuscripts, contracts, assignments, and anything you plan to print or bind. A visible number on every page makes it easy for readers to find their place, refer to an exact page in a meeting, and keep printed pages in order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tool really free? Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no account.
Can I skip the cover page? Yes. Set "Skip first N pages" to 1 (or more) and those pages stay unnumbered; numbering starts after them.
Can I start numbering from a number other than 1? Yes. Set the starting number to any value, useful when your document continues from an earlier file.
Can I add "Page 1 of 12" style numbers? Yes. Choose the "Page 1 of 12" format and the total page count is added automatically.
Does it work on scanned PDFs? Yes. Numbers are stamped on top of each page, so they work on scanned pages too.
Does it change my original PDF? No. Numbers are added on top of your pages; your original text and images stay untouched. Keep an unchanged copy if you may want to adjust the numbering later.
Does it work on my phone? Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser, on desktop or mobile.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere? No. Everything runs in your browser on your own device; your file is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone else.
Limits to Know
The tool works with valid, unlocked PDFs. If your PDF is password-protected, unlock it first and then number it.
