How do I add page numbers to a PDF?

Upload your PDF, choose where you want the numbers (bottom center is standard), select a font size and starting number, then click Apply. The numbered PDF downloads instantly.

Can I start page numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes! Set the starting number to any value. For example, if this PDF is the second chapter of a book that ended on page 42, start from 43.

What position options are available?

Six positions: top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center (most common), and bottom-right. You can also set the margin distance from the edge.

What page number formats are available?

Four formats: plain numbers (1, 2, 3), "Page N" format, "N of T" (showing total pages), and "- N -" decorative format.
