How to use Add Page Numbers
Choose your PDF
Click the box above or drop one PDF file onto it.
Pick position and format
Choose top or bottom, left, centre or right; the starting number; and the format — “1”, “Page 1” or “Page 1 of 10”.
Download the numbered PDF
Press “Add Page Numbers”. Every page gets its number stamped on it, and the file downloads instantly.
Example: Example: a 10-page report numbered from 1 in “Page 1 of 10” format, bottom centre — every page shows “Page 3 of 10”, “Page 4 of 10”, and so on.
About Add Page Numbers
Page numbers make long documents usable: reports, books, assignments and contracts are all easier to read, print and discuss when every page is numbered. PDFTools stamps page numbers onto your PDF right in your browser. Choose the position — top or bottom, left, centre or right — the starting number, and the format, from a plain “1” to “Page 1 of 10”.
The numbers are drawn onto each page in a clean grey font that prints well and never covers your content. There is no upload, so your document never leaves your device, and there is no watermark or page limit. Everything is free, with no account and no sign-up, and it works on phones, tablets and computers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Choose your PDF, pick a position, a starting number and a format, then press “Add Page Numbers”. The numbered PDF downloads immediately.
Can I start numbering from a different number?
Yes. Set the starting number — for example 5 — and the pages will be numbered 5, 6, 7 and so on.
Where can the numbers go?
Top or bottom of the page, on the left, in the centre or on the right. Pick whatever suits your document.
Is adding page numbers free?
Yes. Adding page numbers on PDFTools is 100% free. There is no paid plan, no page limit and no watermark.
Do my PDF files get uploaded?
No. The numbering happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device and nothing is stored on any server.
Will the numbers cover my text?
No. Numbers sit in the margin area (36 points from the edge) in a small grey font, so they stay out of the way of your content.
