PDF Page Number Adder

Stamp clean page numbers onto an existing PDF. Choose where they appear (top or bottom, left, center or right), set the starting number and font size, and number every page or just a range. Everything is added locally in your browser.

Numbering happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded.

  2. Choose the position, starting number, and font size.
  3. Enter a page range, or leave blank for all pages.
  4. Press “Add numbers” and download the result.

About this tool

Page numbers make long documents easier to navigate, print and reference, but most PDF editors lock this basic feature behind a paywall.

This tool overlays numbers directly onto your pages as real text, choosing exactly where they sit and which pages get them.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the numbers appear?
You choose — top or bottom of the page, aligned left, center or right. Bottom-center is the most common choice for reports.
Can I skip the first page?
Yes. Enter a range that starts at page 2 (for example “2-50”) and the cover page stays unnumbered.
Do the numbers affect the original content?
No. They are drawn on top of the existing pages without altering any text or images underneath.
Can I choose the starting number?
Yes. Set any starting number, which is useful when this document is part of a larger set.
Is the output still a normal PDF?
Yes. The numbers become part of the document, so they show up everywhere the file is viewed or printed.
