Add Page Numbers to PDF

Stamp page numbers onto a PDF, with a position and style you pick.

Stamp page numbers onto a PDF. Pick where they sit and how they read, then download the numbered file. Everything runs in your browser - nothing is uploaded.

About Add Page Numbers to PDF

Upload a PDF and add running page numbers to every page. Choose where they sit (any of six corners or edges), the style (plain numbers, 'Page 3', or 'Page 3 of 10'), and the number to start counting from. The numbered PDF downloads in one click and the file never leaves your browser.

What this tool does

After you upload a PDF, pick a position for the numbers (bottom center, a corner, or the top), a style ('3', 'Page 3', or 'Page 3 of 10'), and the number to start at. Every page gets a number drawn on it with the standard Helvetica font, and the result downloads as a new PDF. The original pages are untouched apart from the added text.

Runs entirely in your browser

Numbers are stamped onto the pages by a PDF engine running in the tab, with no upload step at all. Once the page has loaded you can even go offline and keep numbering files.

When you'd use it

  • Numbering the pages of a report or contract before printing
  • Adding 'Page X of Y' to a handout so nobody loses their place
  • Paginating a scanned document that came in without numbers
  • Re-numbering a section starting from a number other than one
