How to add page numbers to a PDF

  1. 1

    Add your PDF

    Drop in the file. It's read on your device and never uploaded.

  2. 2

    Choose the style

    Pick where the numbers go, the format, the starting number and the size.

  3. 3

    Download

    Numbers are stamped on every page locally and the file downloads to you.

Number your pages without uploading

Adding page numbers to a report, contract or manuscript shouldn't require handing the document to an online service. pdfnoupload stamps the numbers onto each page in your browser with pdf-lib, so even a confidential draft stays entirely on your device.

Position, format and starting number

Place the numbers in any corner or centered, top or bottom; choose a plain number, 'Page N', or 'N / total'; and set which number the first page starts on — handy when a cover page shouldn't count. The numbered PDF is generated locally and downloaded instantly, free and without a watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to add page numbers?+

No — numbering happens in your browser. Confirm there are no upload requests in DevTools → Network.

Can I start numbering from a specific number?+

Yes. Set the starting number — for example start at 0 or 2 so a cover page isn't counted.

Where can the numbers go?+

Any of six positions: top or bottom, and left, center or right.

Can I show the total page count?+

Yes. Choose the 'N / total' format to print numbers like 3 / 12.
