  2. Choose a position, format, starting number, and font size — the preview updates instantly.
  3. Add the page numbers and download the result.

Why use this private page-numbering tool?

Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded. The live preview on page 1 shows exactly how the number will look before it's applied to every page.

Common use cases

  • Number pages before printing a long report
  • Add "Page X of N" to a document before sharing it
  • Start numbering from a specific page number

Frequently asked questions

Are my PDF files uploaded?

No. Page numbers are drawn and the PDF is created entirely in your browser.

Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

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

Can I show the total page count, like "1 of 12"?

Yes. Choose the "1 of N" format.

Can I number a password-protected PDF?

Not currently. Remove the password before using the tool.
