Add Page Numbers to PDF

Upload a PDF and add running page numbers to every page. Choose where they sit (any of six corners or edges), the style (plain numbers, 'Page 3', or 'Page 3 of 10'), and the number to start counting from. The numbered PDF downloads in one click and the file never leaves your browser.

Stamp page numbers onto a PDF. Pick where they sit and how they read, then download the numbered file. Everything runs in your browser - nothing is uploaded.

What this tool does

After you upload a PDF, pick a position for the numbers (bottom center, a corner, or the top), a style ('3', 'Page 3', or 'Page 3 of 10'), and the number to start at. Every page gets a number drawn on it with the standard Helvetica font, and the result downloads as a new PDF. The original pages are untouched apart from the added text.

Runs entirely in your browser

The PDF is read and rewritten on your own device with a JavaScript PDF engine, so there's no upload and no server. Reports, contracts, and drafts stay private to your machine, and it works offline once the page has loaded.

When you'd use it

  • Numbering the pages of a report or contract before printing
  • Adding 'Page X of Y' to a handout so nobody loses their place
  • Paginating a scanned document that came in without numbers
  • Re-numbering a section starting from a number other than one
