Add clean page numbers to a PDF without uploading it anywhere. Pick a number style and a starting value, then the tool draws the number at the bottom center of every page using a standard font. Everything runs in your browser, so your document stays on your device.

How to use

  1. Drop a PDF onto the box, or click to browse and select one.
  2. Choose a number style: just the number, Page 1, or 1 of N.
  3. Set the start number if you want the count to begin somewhere other than 1.
  4. Click Add page numbers and wait for the result.
  5. Click Download to save the numbered PDF to your device.

Examples

  • A 12 page report numbered with the plain style shows 1 through 12 centered at the bottom of each page.
  • A document set to the 1 of N style and 12 pages shows labels like 1 of 12, 2 of 12, up to 12 of 12.
  • A chapter that should continue from a previous file: set Start at to 25 so the first page reads 25.

FAQs

Does my PDF get uploaded to a server?
No. The numbering runs entirely in your browser using a client-side library. The file never leaves your device.
Where are the page numbers placed?
Each number is drawn at the bottom center of every page in a standard Helvetica font, so it sits cleanly under your content.
Can I start numbering from a value other than 1?
Yes. Set the Start at field to any whole number and the first page will use that value, with each following page counting up by one.
Does adding numbers change the page count or content?
No. The tool only draws text onto existing pages. The page count stays the same and your original content is preserved.
Why does the tool reject my file?
It may not be a valid PDF, or it could be password protected. Remove any protection in a PDF viewer, then try again.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, but very large files use more browser memory and take longer, since all the work happens on your device.
