Drop your PDF onto the upload area, choose a position (bottom center, bottom right or top right), set the starting number and font size, and click Add Page Numbers. The tool stamps a number on every page and gives you the finished PDF to download right away.
usageYes. Set any starting number before you apply — useful when a document continues from an earlier volume or when a separate cover file takes the first numbers. Each page's number is its position plus your starting value, so the sequence stays consistent.
usageTurn on the skip-first-page option. The first page is left exactly as it was, and numbering continues on page 2 in step with the document, so a table of contents that says page 5 still lands on the page labeled 5.
usageNo. Page numbers are written into the page content with pdf-lib rather than re-rendering the document, so fonts, images and vector content stay untouched and the file size barely changes.
technicalYour file is processed on our secure servers over an encrypted connection and auto-deleted after a short retention window. Nothing is shared, and you don't need an account to use the tool.
