Frequently Asked Questions
How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF
Automatically stamp sequential page numbers on every page of your PDF. Choose the position, number format, font size, and starting number. Essential for reports, theses, manuals, contracts, and any multi-page document that needs clear pagination.
- Upload your PDF file.
- Choose the position for the page numbers (e.g., bottom center).
- Select a format and starting number.
- Click "Add Numbers" and download the result.
Page numbers are a small detail that makes a document look finished and professional — and they make references far easier ("see page 12"). Our tool overlays them cleanly on top of your existing content without disturbing the layout.
Customisation options - Position: top or bottom, aligned left, centre, or right. - Format: Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3), Roman numerals (i, ii, iii), or "Page 1 of N". - Starting number: begin at 1, or skip a cover page by starting the count on page 2. - Appearance: adjust the font size and colour to match your document.
When numbering matters - Theses, dissertations, and academic reports that require consistent pagination. - Legal contracts and agreements where parties reference specific pages. - Manuals, handbooks, and proposals that need a clear reading order. - Any long PDF assembled from several sources that lost its original numbering.
Applied locally Numbers are stamped in your browser and the file downloads directly to you — nothing is uploaded. Because they are drawn on top of the page, numbering works even on scanned PDFs that have no text layer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip numbering on the first page?
Yes. Set the starting page to 2 so the cover page is left unnumbered while the rest of the document is numbered.
Can I choose the font and size?
Yes. You can customise the font size and colour of the page numbers to suit your document.
Does this work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Page numbers are drawn on top of the existing content, so they work regardless of how the PDF was created.
Can I use "Page X of Y" formatting?
Yes. Along with plain and Roman numerals, the tool supports a "Page 1 of N" style that shows the total page count.
Is my document uploaded to add page numbers?
No. The numbers are added in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
