Add Page Numbers to PDF
Stamp a number on every page of your PDF so it is easy to reference in a meeting or point someone to "page 14". Pick the corner, the starting number and whether to show the total. Everything runs in your browser — your document is never uploaded.

Why a printed contract or report needs page numbers
A document without numbers is fine on screen, but the moment it is printed and shuffled, or someone says "check page 9" on a call, the lack of numbers turns into wasted minutes. Reports, contracts, theses and manuals all benefit from a small, consistent stamp on every page.
What this tool changes — and what it does not
It draws a text stamp (like "Page 3 of 12") into the corner you choose on every existing page; the original content is untouched — no re-rendering, no quality loss, no re-ordering. Because the file is processed entirely in your browser, it never touches a server.
Starting number and skipping the cover
Reports with a separate cover page usually want the cover unnumbered and page 2 to display as "1". Turn on "skip number on first page" and set the start number to 1 — the numbering begins on the second physical page but still reads naturally.
Frequently asked questions
Is my document uploaded?
No. Numbering runs in your browser with JavaScript — your PDF never leaves your device.
Can I start counting from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set "Start at" to any number, useful when this file continues from a previous volume.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes, turn on "Skip number on first page" — the cover stays clean and numbering starts on page 2.
Does it change the rest of the page content?
No. Only a small number is added in the corner you pick; everything else on the page stays exactly as it was.
