Our Add Page Numbers tool lets you insert page numbering directly into the PDF file structure, making numbers a permanent part of the document visible in any PDF viewer. You can choose the position (top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right), set the starting page number, choose the format (Arabic numerals, Roman numerals), and configure the font size. All customization and rendering is performed locally in your browser.

🔒 Privacy First — Your Data Never Leaves Your Device
Your privacy is our highest priority. The Add PDF Page Numbers tool processes all your files and data entirely within your web browser using modern JavaScript and WebAssembly technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the starting page number?
Yes, you can configure the starting number, which is useful if your document is a chapter or section within a larger work that begins numbering from a specific page. For example, if your chapter starts at page 47 of a larger book, you can set the starting number to 47 so the page numbers in the footer match the overall book pagination.
Will page numbers cover existing content?
Page numbers are placed in the header or footer margins of the PDF. If your document already has content that fills the entire page including the margins, there may be some overlap. For best results, add page numbers to PDFs that have adequate white space in the header or footer area.
