About this tool

Add Page Numbers to Any PDF — Free & Easy

Merged a report and realized there are no page numbers? Putting together a booklet for print? This tool stamps numbers onto every page in seconds — you choose the position, size, and where to start counting.

Flexible Positioning

Place numbers at the top or bottom of the page, aligned left, center, or right. Pick whatever looks best for your document.

Skip Cover Pages

Start numbering from any page — skip the cover or table of contents so "page 1" lands where it should.

Completely Private

The page numbers are stamped right here in your browser. Your document never leaves your computer.

    Click "Add Numbers & Download" and your document with page numbers saves to your device.

Frequently asked questions

Can I skip the cover page?

Yes. Set the starting page to 2 (or any number) and the first page won't get a number. This is common for documents with a cover page or table of contents.

Can I change the font or size?

Yes. You can adjust the font size to be larger or smaller. The numbers are stamped in a clean, professional font that works with any document style.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser. Your document never leaves your device.

Will this work with a merged document?

Absolutely. This is one of the most common uses — merge multiple PDFs first with our Merge tool, then add page numbers to the combined file.

Is it free?

Completely free — no account, no watermarks, no limits.
