Quick answer
Add Page Numbers stamps sequential numbers onto PDF pages with a custom starting value and position. It is best for reports, legal packets, course materials, and printable documents that need consistent footer or header numbering.
Key features
- Adds sequential page numbers across all pages or selected page ranges.
- Lets you set a custom starting number, such as beginning at 1 after a cover page.
- Supports common placement positions like bottom center, corners, and headers.
- Runs locally in the browser and creates a new numbered PDF download.
- Leaves the original PDF unchanged on your device.
- Works on text-based and scanned PDFs where visible numbering is enough.
About this tool
Page numbers turn a loose PDF into a document people can reference in meetings, citations, reviews, and print workflows. Reports without numbering are harder to discuss, legal packets are harder to audit, and long training manuals become frustrating when someone asks for page 47 and nobody can find it. Add Page Numbers overlays readable numerals on each page using settings you control before export. Set the starting number when a cover page should not count as page 1, choose a placement that does not cover important content, and download a numbered copy ready for sharing. Because numbering runs in your browser, internal reports and client files do not need to be uploaded. The tool adds visible numbers to the page content area; it does not modify PDF outline bookmarks or create logical page labels for every viewer. For very large files, test on a desktop browser with adequate memory.

FAQ
Can numbering start after the cover page?
Yes. Set the starting number and page range so numbering begins where you want, such as after a title page.
Can I choose where the number appears?
Yes. Pick from common positions like bottom center, corners, or header areas before downloading.
Will the original PDF be changed?
No. The tool creates a new numbered PDF and leaves your original file unchanged.
Can I number only some pages?
Yes. Use page ranges to apply numbering to selected sections of the document.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. Numbers are drawn visibly on the page, which works for scans and native PDFs alike.
Are files uploaded to a server?
No. Page numbering is designed to run locally in your browser.
Can I use Roman numerals?
The current version focuses on standard Arabic numerals. Additional styles may be added later.
