About this tool
This tool adds page numbers to a PDF, right in your browser. Load a document, choose where the numbers go (such as bottom-centre or bottom-right), set the starting number and font size, and download the numbered file. It is handy for reports, manuscripts and contracts that need clear pagination. Nothing is uploaded — the numbers are drawn onto each page locally, so your document stays private.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set any starting number, which is useful when a document is one section of a larger work, or when the first pages are a cover and contents that you do not want numbered. Numbering then continues in sequence from the value you choose.
Will the numbers cover up my content?
The numbers sit in the margin at the position you pick, so on most documents they sit clear of the body text. If your pages have very little margin, choose a smaller font size or a corner position, and preview the result before saving to make sure nothing important is obscured.
Is the file processed privately?
Yes. The page numbers are drawn onto your PDF entirely in the browser, so the file is never uploaded or stored anywhere. This makes it safe to number sensitive reports or legal documents without exposing their contents to any server.
