About PDF Number Pages

PDF Number Pages stamps a “current / total” label (e.g. “1 / 12”) onto every page of your PDF entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library — your file is never uploaded to a server. Numbering always starts at 1 on the first page in that fixed format; there's no custom numbering style, starting number, or preview.

How to use PDF Number Pages

  1. 1Click the upload area and select a PDF file from your device.
  2. 2Choose a position for the page numbers from the six options (top or bottom, left, center, or right).
  3. 3Click 'Add Page Numbers' to stamp every page.
  4. 4Click 'Download' to save the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PDF Number Pages free to use?

Yes, it's completely free with no signup required.

Can I choose the number format, like Roman numerals?

No — every page gets a plain "current / total" label in Arabic numerals; there's no format picker.

Can I start numbering from a different number or skip a cover page?

No, numbering always starts at 1 on the very first page and runs through every page in the document.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Page numbers are added entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library.

Tips & Tricks

  • ✓Bottom-center is the most common, professional-looking placement for page numbers.
  • ✓Numbers are drawn on top of existing page content, so check that your chosen position doesn't overlap existing text or footers.
  • ✓If you need to skip a cover page or use a custom starting number, this tool can't do that directly — you'd need to edit specific pages afterward with another PDF tool.
  • ✓Since there's no in-tool preview, download and check the result on a short test PDF before processing an important document.
