🤔 How Does This Tool Work?

Page numbers make long documents navigable and professional — required for theses, reports, contracts and legal filings. This tool adds them automatically across every page of your PDF, with full control over position, starting number, and format.

The tool draws the page number text directly onto each page using pdf-lib, entirely inside your browser. Your document is never uploaded — safe for contracts and confidential reports. The text is a real, selectable layer, not an image, so it stays crisp at any zoom level.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add page numbers to a PDF for free?

Choose your PDF, pick a position (like bottom center), set the starting number and format, then click Add Page Numbers. The numbered PDF downloads immediately — free, with no watermark.

Can I start numbering from a specific number, like 1 or 5?

Yes. Set "Start at" to any number. This is useful when a PDF is part of a larger bound document and needs to continue an existing sequence.

Can I show 'Page 1 of 12' instead of just '1'?

Yes — choose the "Page X of Y" format and the total page count is calculated and inserted automatically.

Where can the page numbers be placed?

Six positions are available: bottom center, bottom right, bottom left, top center, top right, or top left.

Is my document uploaded to add page numbers?

No. Numbering happens inside your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device.
