Add Page Numbers to PDF
Add clean, printed page numbers to any PDF — pick the position and starting number, and download the numbered file. Select several PDFs to number the whole set in one pass, either restarting the count in each file or running it continuously across all of them. Everything runs in your browser.

This tool stamps page numbers onto every page of a PDF. You choose the position (left, centre or right), the starting number, and whether to show a plain number or “n / total”. The numbers are drawn into the file with pdf-lib entirely in your browser, so your document is never uploaded.
How to use Add Page Numbers to PDF
- Choose one or more PDF files.
- Pick the position and starting number.
- Click “Add page numbers & download” — or “Download all” as a .zip for a batch.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from a specific page number?
Yes — set the “Start at” value and the first page takes that number, incrementing from there.
Can I number several PDFs at once?
Yes. Select multiple PDFs and choose whether each file restarts at your start number or the count carries on across the whole set — useful when the PDFs are consecutive chapters of one document.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No — the page numbers are added locally in your browser.
