Add Page Numbers to PDF
Number the pages of a PDF, with a choice of position and an optional “1 / N” total — entirely in your browser.
At a glance
- Where it runs
- Runs in your browser — your file is never uploaded.
- File size
- No fixed size limit — large files are bounded by your device's memory.
- Offline
Works offline — everything it needs is already on your device.
- Batch
- One file at a time.
- Cost
- Free, with no account and no daily limit.
Page numbers are usually added late, when a document that started as separate files has been merged and a reader (or a court, or a submissions portal) needs to reference specific pages.
The tool stamps a real text object onto each page using pdf-lib, so the numbers are selectable and searchable rather than baked into an image, and the rest of the page is untouched — no re-rendering, no recompression. You choose position and starting number, which matters when a cover page should not count as page one, or when the document continues a sequence from another file.
Everything happens in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded. If a page already carries numbers from its original layout, this adds a second set rather than replacing them — remove or crop the old ones first if that would be confusing.
Best for
- Numbering a report, contract, or thesis before submitting or printing
- Adding page references so a document is easy to cite and navigate
- Preparing a multi-page PDF for professional or legal use
Good to know
Adds page numbers to a PDF and saves a new copy — all on your device, nothing uploaded. You choose where the numbers sit (e.g. bottom-centre); it stamps numbers onto the existing pages without altering their content. Your original file stays untouched.
