Page Numbers

Add your PDF in the box above, pick a position and a number format, and download. Every page gets its number in seconds. It's free, with no watermark and no sign-up.

At the top or bottom of the page, on the left, in the centre or on the right. Mirror on odd/even pages swaps left and right on facing pages, which suits double-sided printing and books.

Yes. Choose from 1, 2, 3; Page 1; 1 of N; Page 1 of N; - 1 -; i, ii, iii; and I, II, III. The words follow the language of the page you're on, and the Language menu switches them to any of 12 languages. With Custom you write your own text, using {n} for the number and {total} for the page count, for example Sheet {n} / {total}.

Set Start numbering at to any number, for example 3. To leave the first pages without a number, skip the first page or number only specific pages, such as 3-20. Skipped pages don't use up a number, so the first numbered page shows your starting value.

Turn on Leave cover page without number. The cover stays clean and the next page starts at 1, or at the starting number you chose. There's a matching option for the last page.

Yes. Choose Helvetica, Times or Courier in regular or bold, a size from 6 to 48 points, any colour and an opacity from 10 to 100%. You can also add a prefix or suffix and pad numbers with zeros, such as 001.

Open this page in Safari or Chrome, add the PDF, choose your settings and download. No app is needed; the numbered PDF is saved to your downloads.

With a free account you can number up to 3 PDFs at once (80 MB each, 120 MB in total). Each file is numbered on its own, starting from your chosen value, and the results download together in one ZIP.

Combine the files first with Merge PDF, then add page numbers to the merged PDF, so the numbering runs straight through.

This tool adds new numbers; it can't take away ones already printed on the pages. To delete or change existing numbers, edit that text in Editly.

Yes. The ready-made formats such as Page 1 of N use the language of the page you're on, for example Seite 1 von N on the German page or 第 1 页，共 N 页 on the Chinese one, and the Language menu switches them to any of 12 languages. Custom text works in Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Khmer, Myanmar, Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopic and Indian scripts such as Devanagari, Bengali and Tamil. The Numerals menu writes the numbers in Arabic-Indic (١٢٣), Persian, Devanagari (१२३), Bengali, Thai and other digits.

For legal and court documents with a prefix and continuous numbering across many files, use Bates Numbering, which is built for that.

Yes. Files are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection, numbered on our server and deleted automatically within one hour. In Browser mode, numbering happens on your own device without uploading.
