Number Your PDF Pages in Seconds

Add clean, consistent page numbers to any PDF — essential for reports, contracts, manuscripts, and legal filings where every page needs a reference. Choose where the numbers sit, what number to start from, and whether they read as a plain 1, Page 1, or 1 of N.

Numbers are drawn as real text onto each page with pdf-lib. Everything runs on your device via open-source browser libraries — your file is never uploaded. You can verify it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can the numbers go?

Any of six positions: bottom or top, left / centre / right. Bottom centre is the most common default.

Can I start from a number other than 1?

Yes — set any starting value (useful when a document continues from an earlier part, or when a cover page should not count).

What formats are available?

Plain numbers (1, 2, 3), Page 1 style, or 1 of N which also shows the total page count.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The numbers are added locally with pdf-lib and your document never leaves your device.
