Add Page Numbers to a PDF Online for Free
Digitaliiisla's Add Page Numbers tool drops tidy page numbers onto every page of your PDF — right inside your web browser. Number a report before you print it, tidy up a merged document, or continue numbering from an earlier file. There is nothing to install, no account and no watermark.
The numbering runs entirely on your own device, so your PDF never leaves your phone or computer. The numbers are added as real text on top of your untouched pages, so the document stays selectable and searchable.
How to Add Page Numbers
- Add your PDF. Drop it in or tap Select a PDF.
- Pick the position. Choose bottom or top, and left, centre or right.
- Set the numbering. Choose a starting number, the font size and the margin.
- Add and download. Press Add page numbers, preview the result and save it.
Choose the Position, Start Number and Size
Place the number where it reads best — a centred footer for reports, a top-right corner for filings. Set a starting number other than 1 when the document carries on from a previous file, choose a font size that matches your layout, and set the margin so the number sits comfortably inside the page edge. Pick Page X of N if you would like the total count shown too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Add Page Numbers tool free?
Yes. Adding page numbers is completely free, with no sign-up, login or payment, and there is no watermark.
Where can the numbers go?
You can place them at the bottom or top of the page, aligned left, centre or right, with a margin you choose.
Can I start from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set any starting number, which is useful when the document continues from an earlier file.
Does it keep the text selectable?
Yes. The numbers are added as real text and the original pages are untouched, so the PDF stays selectable and searchable.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The numbering happens in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded and nothing is stored.
