How to use

  1. Choose a PDF. It is opened on your device and checked for size and password protection.
  2. Choose the format and pages, then drag and resize the number directly on the preview.
  3. Select Add page numbers, then download the new PDF.

Example

A 12-page report with a cover: pages 2-12, start at 1, bottom center → the cover stays blank and the next page shows 1.

Details and limitations

Numbers are placed relative to the visible page area, so they appear upright and inside the page even on rotated or cropped pages. The “of N” total is the last number printed.

Page numbers are rendered as high-resolution images so the canvas preview and exported PDF use the same font and placement. Added numbers are not selectable text.

FAQ

How do I add page numbers to a PDF but skip the cover page?

Select Skip the first page (or enter 2-12, for example). The first listed page gets the start number, so the page after the cover can show 1.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is read and saved by JavaScript in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

Can I number a password-protected PDF?

Not directly. Remove the password with the Unlock PDF tool first, then add the page numbers.
