About Add Page Numbers to PDF

Add Page Numbers to PDF inserts clear, consistently positioned numbering into an existing document. Number the entire PDF or select individual pages and ranges, making it easy to exclude covers, title pages or other unnumbered sections.

Choose standard or Roman numerals, set the starting number and create formats such as Page 1, 1 of 10 or Page 1 of 10. Optional prefixes and suffixes can be added, and the font, size, color and page margins can be adjusted before export.

Numbers can appear at the top or bottom with left, center or right alignment, including alternating placement for facing pages. Every page is handled according to its own size and rotation, and the preview lets you confirm the position. Processing takes place locally in your browser.
