Add page numbers to a PDF online

Use this tool to number PDF pages for review, printing, filing, citations, contracts, reports, study notes, and scanned documents. Choose where the number appears, set the starting number, adjust font size, and skip the first page when the cover should stay unnumbered.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload your PDF and wait for the page previews to load.
  2. Choose a page number position such as bottom center, bottom right, or top right.
  3. Set the start number and decide whether to skip the first page.
  4. Create the numbered PDF, download it, and open it once before sharing.

Practical notes

  • Reorder, delete, or rotate pages before adding final numbers.
  • Bottom center is the safest position for most reports and forms.
  • If a cover page or title page should not count, use the skip-first-page option.

FAQ

Will this change my original file?

No. The tool creates a new result file while your original file remains unchanged.

Can I use this for work documents?

Yes, but always review the downloaded result before sending it to clients, coworkers, or official services.

Why should I preview pages first?

Previewing helps you confirm the page order, cover page, and numbering position before creating the final PDF.

Should I add page numbers before or after rearranging pages?

Add page numbers after the final page order is correct. If you reorder pages later, the numbering may no longer match the document structure.
