Add Page Numbers to PDF — Fast, Free & Private

Long PDFs are hard to reference. Numbered pages fix that. With our lightweight online PDF page numbering tool, you can stamp clean, readable numbers on your document in seconds—no software installs, no sign-ups, and your files never leave your browser.

What Makes This Page Numbering Tool Different?

Most converters are either slow, locked behind paywalls, or upload your files to a server. Ours focuses on three things: speed, control, and clarity. You get crisp typography, flexible placement, and batch handling— all in a clean interface that works on desktop and mobile.

Flexible Formats

Use simple digits (1, 2, 3), labels (Page 1), or totals (1 of n / 1/n).

Smart Placement

Top/bottom, left/center/right, or a custom x-y offset for pixel-perfect layouts.

Selective Ranges

Skip covers or appendices: target pages like 2-10, 13, 15-.

Batch Ready

Queue multiple PDFs and apply the same style to all of them in one pass.

Live Preview

See the first-page mockup before you commit—adjust font, size, and color instantly.

Local Processing

No uploads. Your PDFs stay on your computer for maximum privacy.
