About Add Page Numbers to PDF

Add page numbers to a PDF the way a printed report or book is numbered. Open your PDF, choose where the number sits (a corner or centered) and how it reads — just the number, 'Page 3', or '3 of 12' — and it stamps every page, with a live preview so you can see the placement first. Everything runs in your browser, so unlike most online PDF tools your document is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add page numbers to a PDF?

Drop in your PDF, pick a position and number format, and optionally a starting number, then click Download. Every page gets a number drawn onto it and you get a new PDF — the preview shows roughly where each number lands.

Can I start numbering from a specific page or number?

Yes. Set 'Start at' to any number — useful when the PDF is one part of a larger document, or when the first pages are a cover you want to skip in the count.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The numbers are drawn entirely in your browser with pdf-lib; your file never leaves your device, so it's safe for private or confidential documents.

What number formats are available?

Three: just the number (3), 'Page 3', or '3 of 12'. All are drawn in a clean sans-serif at the position you choose.
