Insert page numbers into your PDF documents. Customize the position, alignment, font, size, color and numbering format, then download your numbered PDF.
Adding page numbers makes PDF documents easier to navigate, organize, print and reference. Use this free online tool to insert page numbers into reports, presentations, books, manuals and other PDF files.
Select a PDF document from your computer, smartphone or tablet. You can also drag and drop the file into the upload area.
Choose how the page numbers should appear. You can use a simple number, a page label, or a format showing the current page and the total number of numbered pages.
Select the top or bottom position, alignment, font family, font style, font size, text color and distance from the page edge.
You can leave the first pages unnumbered. For example, start numbering on PDF page 3 and set its visible page number to 1.
Click Add Page Numbers to PDF. Your new document will be generated and downloaded to your device.
Place page numbers at the top or bottom of each numbered page. Bottom placement is commonly used for reports, books and documents, while top placement can be useful for reference materials and business documents.
Choose left, center or right alignment to match the layout of your document.
Use the available placeholders to create different numbering styles:
The total represents the number of pages being numbered, beginning with your selected starting page.
You do not always need to number every page in a document. For example, a report may have a cover page and a table of contents before the main content begins.
Suppose your PDF has 20 pages and you want the third PDF page to display page number 1. Set the following options:
The first two PDF pages remain unchanged. The third page displays Page 1 of 18, and the final page displays Page 18 of 18.
