How to add page numbers to a PDF

Paginate reports, contracts, ebooks and handouts in seconds — your file is processed entirely on your device.

⬇️

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.
