How to Use Add Page Numbers to PDF

To add page numbers to a PDF, upload your file using the upload area. Choose the position of the page numbers — bottom centre, bottom right, top centre, or other positions — and select the number format: plain numbers (1, 2, 3), 'Page 1', or 'Page 1 of N'. Set the starting page number, font size, and margin if needed.

Click Add Page Numbers and the tool processes the PDF in your browser, stamping each page with the chosen number format. Download the resulting PDF with page numbers added. This is useful for reports, academic papers, legal documents, and any multi-page PDF that needs navigation numbering.
