How to add page numbers to a PDF

To add page numbers to a PDF, open the tool, select one PDF, and set the layout: the starting number, the position on the page, the font size, and the margin from the edge. Preview the placement, then export the updated PDF, which downloads straight to your device.

Setting a custom start number is helpful when the first pages are a cover or table of contents and you want numbering to begin partway through. The position controls let you place numbers in the top or bottom corners or centered along the footer.

  • Select one PDF file
  • Set the start number, position, size, and margin
  • Preview the placement and export the numbered PDF

What it is good for

Page numbering is one of the most common last-step finishing tasks for a PDF. Many files are complete in content but still need clearer structure for review, printing, or cross-references, and this tool adds that without opening a heavy PDF editor.

Typical use cases include client deliverables, long scan bundles, print-ready handouts, and submission files that need clearer page references. Because the work stays local in your browser, it suits private reports and admin documents where uploading is not an option.

  • Submission files that need page references
FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is adding page numbers to a PDF free?

Yes. This tool adds page numbers to a PDF free, with no signup or watermark. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install.

Does this upload my PDF to a server?

No. The page-number stamping runs locally in your browser, so the source PDF stays on your device the whole time and is never uploaded.

Can I start numbering from a custom number?

Yes. You can set the starting number so the first numbered page begins at any positive value, which is useful when a cover or contents page comes first.

Can I place the numbers in the top or bottom corners?

Yes. The position options cover common top and bottom placements, and you can adjust the margin so the numbers sit cleanly away from the page edge.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool runs in any modern mobile or desktop browser, so you can number a PDF on a phone or tablet without installing an app.
