Add page numbers to a PDF

Number the pages at the top or bottom, left, center or right, starting where you want.

Number format

Start numbering on page

First number

How it works

  1. Choose your PDF or drop it on the box above.
  2. Pick where the numbers go on the page preview: top or bottom, left, center or right.
  3. Choose the format, the page numbering starts on and the first number.
  4. Press Convert and download the numbered PDF.

Skip the cover

Start numbering on page 2 with the number 1, and the cover stays without a number while the page after it is the first one. Pages before the one you choose are left as they are.

Nothing else changes

The number is written on top of each page: text, images, links and form fields stay as they were.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave the cover without a number?

Yes. Start numbering on page 2. If you also start with the number 1, the page after the cover is page 1.

Which formats can I use?

Only the number ("1"), the number and the total ("1 / 9"), or "Page 1 of 9". The total is the last number written, so an unnumbered cover does not count.

Does it keep digital signatures?

No. Adding the numbers changes the document, so any digital signature it had is no longer valid. Number the pages first and sign the result.

Can I number a PDF protected with a password?

No. Remove the password first and upload the unprotected copy.

Is there a page limit?

PDFs of up to 300 pages and 25 MB.
