Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

Yes. Set the desired starting number; useful when the PDF continues an already-paginated document or has an uncounted cover page.

Where does the number appear on the page?

You choose from six placements: the four corners, plus centred at the top or the bottom of the page.

Do the numbers stay sharp when printed?

Yes, they are added as vector text: they remain perfectly legible on screen and in print, at any zoom level.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser: your files never leave your device.

How to

Import the PDF you want to number.
Choose the number's position and its starting value.
Apply: the numbered document downloads instantly.

Features

Choice of position

Place the number in any corner, or centred at the top or bottom of the page, using a simple selector that covers the six most common placements.

Adjustable starting number

Begin at 1, or at any value if your PDF continues from another document or if the first pages should not be counted in the sequence.

Numbers as vector text

The digits are inserted as crisp, selectable text that stays perfectly legible at any zoom level, without ever pixelating or noticeably inflating the file size.

Applied to the whole document

A single setting numbers every page consistently. Ideal for finishing a long report or dissertation in just a few seconds, with no page-by-page work.

Use cases

Paginate a dissertation or thesis before printing and binding.
Number a contract so each clause can be referenced without ambiguity.
Prepare meeting handouts where people refer to « page 12 ».
Add continuous pagination after merging several files into one.

Your files never leave your device

Unlike most online PDF tools that upload your files to their servers, all processing happens right here, in your browser. No document is ever sent, stored or analyzed remotely: it's free, no sign-up, and private by design.
