About this tool

Add page numbers (plain or “n / total”) to every page with position, size and start number controls.

Add Page Numbers to PDF is a practical tool that automatically inserts page numbers into every page of your PDF document. Essential for multi-page documents that need professional organization, this tool lets you customize the number format, position, font style, and starting number. Whether you're preparing a legal brief, academic thesis, business report, or any lengthy document, page numbers make navigation and referencing effortless.

Choose from multiple positioning options—top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right—and select from formats like plain numbers, 'Page X of Y', Roman numerals, and more. The tool applies numbers consistently across all pages while preserving your existing content and formatting. All processing happens locally in your browser, keeping your documents completely private.
