How to add page numbers to a PDF
Paginate reports, contracts, ebooks and handouts in seconds — your file is processed entirely on your device.
1. Drop your PDF
Add the PDF you want to number; page one previews instantly.
2. Pick a style
Choose position, a format like “Page 1 of N”, the starting number, size and color.
3. Apply & save
Number every page (optionally skipping a cover) and download.
Page numbers make long documents easy to navigate, cite and print — essential for reports, theses, legal filings, manuals and books. You can start at any number (handy for chapters and appendices), skip a cover page, and place the number in any corner or centered. Everything is added with pdf-lib locally, keeping confidential files private. See all PDF tools.
