Add Page Numbers to PDF

Stamp page numbers onto a PDF and choose where they sit, how they look and where they start — privately in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

This tool lets you add page numbers to a PDF and choose where they sit, how they look and where they start. Stamp numbers in any corner, pick a plain "1" or a "1 / 12" style, skip a cover page, and set a starting number for a document that continues from another file. The numbers are baked into every page. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Open your PDF, choose where the number sits (such as bottom center), pick the style and starting number, then download. The numbers are stamped onto each page.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Turn on “skip the first page” so a title or cover gets no number, and the count begins on page two.
Can I start at a number other than 1?
Yes. Set any starting number, which is handy when a document continues from an earlier file or chapter.
