Long documents - reports, contracts, dissertations - are much easier to reference and print correctly once every page is numbered.
This tool adds a "page X of Y" label to the bottom center of every page, so the numbering is automatic and consistent throughout the file.
Numbers are added directly in your browser; the PDF is never uploaded anywhere to get processed.
How to use the Add Page Numbers to PDF
- Select a PDF file.
- Click Add Page Numbers.
- Download the numbered PDF.
Where the numbers go
Numbers are placed at the bottom center of each page in a small, neutral font, so they stay out of the way of existing content and margins.
Common uses
- Numbering a report or thesis before printing or submission
- Adding page references to a contract with multiple exhibits
- Making a long PDF easier to navigate in a printed copy
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes, free with no signup.
Will it renumber a PDF that already shows numbers on the page?
No - if numbers are already part of the original page content, this adds a second number below them rather than detecting or replacing existing numbering.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens locally in your browser.
Can I start numbering from a page other than 1?
Not currently - numbering always starts at 1 on the first page.
