About the Add Page Numbers to PDF

Add clear page numbers to any PDF. Pick where they appear, the format such as Page 1 of 10, the font size and the number to start counting from.

It is handy for reports, contracts, ebooks and handouts that need consistent pagination before printing or sharing.

The numbers are added in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from a page other than 1?
Yes. Set the start number to any value, which is useful when a cover page should not be counted.
How do I show the total number of pages?
Use {total} in the format, for example Page {n} of {total}, and it is filled in automatically.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Page numbers are added locally in your browser, so your file stays private.
