Add page numbers to a PDF

Stamp consecutive numbers on your pages in the position and style you pick. Numbering can start from any value and cover all pages or just a range, which is useful when the first pages are a cover or table of contents.

How to use Add Page Numbers to PDF

Select a PDF.
Choose position and number format.
Set the starting number and optional page range.
Apply and download.

Supported formats

Input: PDF
Output: PDF

Skip the cover

Enter a range like 2- to number from page 2. The label uses the real page position, so the cover counts as 1 unless you change the start value.

Rotated pages

Numbers are placed relative to the page as displayed, even if the page is rotated.

Limitations

Roman numerals are not supported.
Text uses the built-in PDF fonts, which cover Latin (Western European) characters only.

Privacy

Files you choose are read into your browser’s memory and processed on your device; they are not uploaded to a server. Temporary download links are released after use, and the offline cache never stores your documents. More about privacy and limits.

Frequently asked questions

Can I show “Page 3 of 12”?

Choose the “n of total” format, or use Header & Footer for custom wording.

Will numbers overlap existing content?

Increase the margin or pick another corner if the default overlaps footers.
