Add page numbers to PDF

Automatically add the page number to the footer of every page in your PDF. Free and unlimited.

💡 Numbers are added centered in the footer, starting at 1 on the first page.

How it works

1

Upload the PDF

Select the document you want to number.

2

Automatic processing

The system adds each page's number to the footer, in sequential order starting at 1.

3

Download the numbered PDF

Get the same document back, now with page numbers applied throughout.

Adding page numbers to a PDF helps organize long documents like contracts, course materials and reports, making it easier to reference pages and confirm none are missing.

Numbers are applied automatically in the footer, centered, starting at 1 on the first page and continuing through the last. The rest of the PDF's content, text, images and formatting, stays unchanged.

It's a quick alternative to opening the original file in Word just to add page numbering and re-export as PDF, most useful when you've already lost the editable source file and only have the final PDF on hand, as happens with signed contracts or workbooks you received ready-made.
