Page numbers make a long document easy to navigate and to discuss: "see page 12" only works if pages are numbered. This tool adds them to any PDF, with the position you prefer (top or bottom, left, centre or right) and the format you need, such as a simple number or the "1 / N" style. You can also choose which page the numbering starts on.
Skipping the cover is easy, which suits theses, reports, tenders and legal files that are often printed or shared in parts. Numbering is done in your browser, so the document never leaves your device. Preview the result on the thumbnails, then download your numbered PDF, ready to print or send.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I start numbering after the cover page?
- Yes. Choose the first page to number, so a title page or table of contents can stay unnumbered.
- What numbering formats are available?
- You can show a plain page number or a "page of total" style such as "1 / N", positioned at the top or bottom of the page.
- Will the numbers cover my content?
- Pick the position that leaves your text clear and check the preview before downloading. Adjusting the position takes a second.
