Add Page Numbers
Stamp page numbers onto a PDF — pick the position, format, font and where the count starts. Runs 100% in your browser, no uploads, no watermarks.
Add Page Numbers to a PDF for Free
Number the pages of any PDF in seconds, entirely inside your browser. Choose one of six positions, pick a format — 1, Page 1, Page 1 of 9, 1 / 9 or roman numerals — then set the font, text size, margin, the number to start counting from, and how many opening pages to leave blank so a cover or title page stays clean. Numbers are drawn directly onto the page, so they render identically in every PDF reader and survive printing. 100% browser-based, completely private, free, and no watermarks.
Why Use Our Page Numbering Tool?
- Six positions: Top or bottom, left, centre or right — the picker mirrors the page itself.
- Real numbering control: Start at any number, skip a cover page, and choose plain, "Page X of Y", slash or roman formats.
- Rotated pages handled: Numbers stay upright and correctly placed on pages that carry a 90°, 180° or 270° rotation.
- 100% Private & Free: The PDF never leaves your device, and there are no watermarks or sign-ups.

Numbering a document you just assembled? Merge your PDFs first so the count runs across the whole set, then add a watermark if it is a draft.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Upload the PDF, choose the position and format, adjust the font size and margin, then click "Add page numbers". The numbered file downloads straight away.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Set "Skip first" to the number of opening pages that should stay blank — the count then starts on the next page.
Can numbering start at a number other than 1?
Yes. Set "Start at" to any number, which is useful when a document is one chapter of a larger book.
Which formats are available?
Plain numbers (1), "Page 1", "Page 1 of 9", "1 / 9", and lowercase roman numerals (i, ii, iii).
Can the numbers be removed later?
No. They are drawn onto the page like printed ink, which is what makes them appear in every reader. Keep a copy of the original if you may need it unnumbered.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is processed entirely in your browser and never leaves your device.
