PDF Page Numbers: Add Page Numbering to Your Documents

Add professional page numbers to any PDF document. Choose position, format, font size, and starting number.

What It Does

The PDF Page Numbers tool adds sequential page numbers to every page of a PDF document. You can customize the position (top or bottom, left, center, or right), number format, font size, and starting page number. Specific pages can be excluded from numbering.

How to Use It

Upload your PDF document. Choose the page number position, format, and font size. Set the starting number and optionally skip specific pages. Click Add Numbers and download the updated PDF.

Tips & Tricks

Use bottom-center for the most common professional layout. Start numbering from the actual content page, skipping title pages and table of contents. Match the font size to your document body text for a cohesive look.

Use Cases

Authors add page numbers to manuscript drafts before submission. Office staff number report pages for easy reference in meetings. Students add page numbers to compiled thesis or dissertation documents.
