How it works
How to add page numbers to a PDF
Open the PDF
Drop the document here or choose it. The editor opens with the page numbers dialog.
Choose the style
Pick the number style, top or bottom and the alignment; a diagram of the page shows where everything goes.
Apply and download
Apply puts the numbers on every page. A free account downloads the PDF.
What you get
Numbers, headers and footers
Styles that read well
1, Page 1, Page 1 of 10 or 1 / 10, in the size, color and distance from the edge you choose.
Headers and footers
Add text above and below every page; {n} becomes the page number and {total} the page count.
A cover without a number
Not on the first page leaves the cover or title page bare.
Change it later
Open the dialog again to change the numbers, or remove headers and footers altogether.
FAQ
Questions and answers
Can I leave the cover page without a number?
Yes: turn on Not on the first page.
Can I show the page count?
Yes: choose Page 1 of 10 or 1 / 10, or write {total} in the header or footer text.
Do the numbers become part of the document’s text?
They are written into every page, so any reader or printer shows them, but they stay apart from the document’s own text: you can change or remove them later.
Do I need an account?
Not to number pages. To download the PDF, create a free account.
