About this tool

What Add Page Numbers does

Add page numbers to a PDF with the format, position, font size and start number you want. The numbering follows the page order, so it is consistent even when the document has no page labels, and the cover can be skipped. Bookmarks, page labels and metadata are preserved, and the whole job runs in your browser.

  • Format you controlUse for the page number and for the count: “”, “ / ” or “Page of ”.
  • Any positionBottom centre by default, or any of nine positions including the header area.
  • Start number and coverBegin at any number, for example 3 when the first pages belong to another document.
  • Structure untouchedBookmarks, page labels, metadata and page rotation are preserved.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the numbering replace existing page labels?

No. Page labels are kept as they are; the numbers are written as text on the page. That also means search and print dialogs may still show the old labels.

Can the first page be left unnumbered?

Yes. Enable “Skip the first page” so a cover or title page stays clean.

Can I number only some pages?

Yes. Select the pages in the grid; only those receive a number.

Does it work on rotated pages?

Yes. The position is calculated in the rotated view you see, so numbers stay at the bottom of the page as displayed.
