Add page numbers to a PDF

Reports, handouts, contracts and academic papers are much easier to work with when the pages are numbered. This tool adds numbers to every page with control over position, format, size and color.

You also choose the number the count starts from and can limit numbering to a range of pages, which is useful when the cover should not be numbered.

When to use this tool

  • Numbering academic papers and theses according to institutional guidelines.
  • Making it easy to refer to pages in meetings and contract reviews.
  • Organizing handouts and printed materials.
  • Continuing the numbering of a document that is part of a larger set.

Tips for a good result

  • Pick a color that contrasts with the page background and a size that is readable but discreet.
  • To start numbering only after the cover, use the page range or adjust the "Start at" field.
  • If the number sits too close to the text, increase the margin or move it to another corner or the center of the footer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose where the number appears?

Yes. There are six positions, combining top or bottom with left, center and right, three margin sizes (small, default and large) and three formats: just the number, "1 / 10" or "Page 1".

Can the count start at a different number?

Yes, the "Start at" field sets the first number. This is useful to continue the numbering from another file.

Does numbering change the PDF text?

The numbers are added on top of each page. The original content stays as it was.

What are the limits of the free plan?

The free plan allows 10 conversions per day, with files up to 60 MB and no sign-up required. The Premium plan removes the daily limit and the ads.
