What is Add Page Numbers?

An Add Page Numbers tool stamps sequential numbers onto the pages of your PDF. You choose where the numbers appear, their size, and which number to start from, and the tool draws the text onto each page with pdf-lib. Everything runs in your browser, so your document is numbered without ever being uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from a specific number?+

Yes. Set any starting number - useful when a document continues from another file or when the first pages should not be counted.

Where can the page numbers be placed?+

You can position numbers at the bottom or top of the page, aligned left, center, or right, so they fit your document layout.

Is my PDF uploaded to add numbers?+

No. The numbers are drawn onto the pages in your browser with pdf-lib. Your file stays on your device, so it is safe for confidential documents.

Will the numbers cover my content?+

The preview shows exactly where numbers will land so you can pick a position and size that sits in the margin rather than over your text.

Can I remove the page numbers later?+

The numbers become part of the page once added. Keep your original file if you may need an unnumbered version, since the tool never changes your source document.
