Add page numbers to a PDF

Put a number on every page, where you want it, and skip the cover if you like.

Your files never leave your device. Everything happens in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, and closing the tab erases it.

How it works

  1. Drop the PDF.
  2. Pick where the number goes, how it reads, the font, colour and size. The preview shows the first numbered page.
  3. Download the numbered copy. Your original stays as it was.

Questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The numbers are added in your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Can I number a book with facing pages?

Yes. Tick “Facing pages” and pick bottom right: odd pages get the number on the right, even pages on the left, always on the outer edge. You can also choose the font, colour, size and distance from the edge.

Can I leave the cover page without a number?

Yes. Set “Start on page” to 2. To have that page show 1, leave “First number” at 1. To leave appendices at the end unnumbered, set “End on page”: “of N” then counts only the numbered pages.

Can it write “Page 1 of 10”?

Yes. Pick it in “Format”. You can also choose 1, Page 1, 1 / 10, or your own text like “Report – page {n} of {total}”.

What about pages turned sideways?

Each number goes where you chose on the page as you see it, upright, even on landscape or rotated pages.

Can I search or copy the numbers?

Yes. They’re written as real text, not as a picture, so they print sharply and show up in a search.
