Add page numbers to a PDF

Number the pages of a PDF automatically, choosing the position and starting number, in any corner of the page.

Automatically number every page of a PDF, choosing the position on the page and the starting number.

Adding page numbers

Numbers are stamped onto each page at the position you choose (for example bottom centre or top right), starting from any number you like, with a margin so they do not collide with the content. It is the quick fix when a merged document needs consistent numbering for a court bundle, a tender or a printed handout.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload the PDF you want to number.
  2. Choose a position (e.g. bottom-center) and a starting number.
  3. Download the PDF with page numbers added.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

Yes, set any starting number — useful when this document continues from another one.

Where can the numbers be placed?

Choose from six positions: top or bottom, each aligned left, center, or right.

Tips

  • Merge first, number last. Numbering each file separately restarts the count on every file.
