How to use

  1. Drop a PDF into the box or click to choose one. A preview of the first page appears.
  2. Choose one of the six positions, then set the style, font size and colour.
  3. If the document has a cover, turn on “No number on the first page”; the second page then gets the starting number.
  4. Press “Add page numbers”, check the preview of the result and download it.

FAQ

Does it work on rotated or landscape pages?

Yes. Each page’s rotation and visible area are taken into account, so numbers land where you expect when the page is viewed upright.

Can numbering start at 3?

Set “Start at” to 3. The first number becomes 3, and the total in styles like “1 / 10” is adjusted to match.

Is my PDF stored on a server?

No. Numbers are added inside your browser and the file is never sent anywhere.
