About adding page numbers here
Numbers are drawn into each page in a standard font, so they print exactly as you see them.
Useful for handouts and contracts that need to be referred to page by page. The file never leaves your browser.
Like everything on this site, this tool runs in your browser. Your image is never uploaded.
Common questions
Is the page numbers tool free?
Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The page numbers tool runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Pick the corner they should sit in and the size, and every page is numbered as you download. This is the quick fix for a document assembled out of several files, where the numbering either restarts halfway through or was never there at all.
Can I start the numbering from a different number?
Yes. Set the starting number and the count runs on from there, which is what you want when the pages are one section of a longer document, or when a cover page should not count as page one.
