Why use Add Page Numbers to PDF?
100% private
Your PDFs are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — even large or confidential documents stay on your device.
No limits, no watermark
No page caps, no daily limits, no sign-up, and never a watermark — unlike most online PDF tools.
Visual page editing
See every page as a thumbnail. Drag to reorder, rotate with one click, or delete the pages you don’t want — then download.
Works on any device
No install and no account. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iPhone.
Page numbers, your way
Add a plain number, an “1 / N” counter or a “Page 1 of N” label, in any corner or centered, starting from any number — handy when a document is one section of a larger set. The numbers are drawn onto each page in your browser with pdf-lib, so nothing is uploaded.
Numbers that travel with the content
Because numbering is applied at the moment you export, the numbers stay correct even if you later split out a subset or insert pages from another file. Set the start number to continue a previous document or chapter without manual renumbering.
Real text, not an image overlay
The page numbers are inserted as selectable PDF text. They remain findable with search, copyable, and accessible to screen readers. They are not burned into the page pixels, so the underlying content is unchanged.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
No. Every page is read, rearranged and written entirely in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device, so it works even offline once the page has loaded — ideal for confidential documents.
Can I start numbering from a specific number?
Yes. Set the starting number — useful when the PDF is a chapter or section that continues from another document.
What number formats are available?
A plain number, “1 / N”, or “Page 1 of N” — placed in any of the corners and edges, with bottom center as the default.
