Add Page Numbers to PDF
Add page numbers to the bottom of every page in a PDF. Free and private. Everything runs in your browser; your file is never uploaded.
Stamp sequential page numbers onto a PDF. Pick the position, starting number, and format, then download a paginated copy without leaving your browser. Handy for reports, manuscripts, or scanned documents that came out without page numbers.
How to use it
- Upload the PDF you want to paginate
- Choose the position, starting number, and format for the page numbers
- Download the numbered PDF
Frequently asked questions
- Can I start numbering from something other than 1, or skip the first page?
- Yes. Set a custom starting number (useful if this PDF continues from another document) and choose to skip the cover page or any front matter so numbering starts on the page you want.
- Where does the page number get placed?
- Pick a corner or center position (bottom-center and bottom-right are the most common), and set the font size and margin so it doesn't collide with existing footers or content.
- Does my PDF get uploaded to a server?
- No. The numbering happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device, which matters if you're paginating contracts, manuscripts, or anything else you'd rather not upload.
- Will it work with a PDF that already has a header or footer?
- Yes, the page number is stamped as a new layer on top of the existing page, so you can nudge the position or size to avoid overlapping existing footer text.

Works offline
Load the page once and it keeps working with the network off, because all the work was always happening locally.
