Place your page numbers exactly where you need them: top or bottom, aligned to the left, center, or right of the page.
Choose from 1 2 3, 01 02 03, Page 1, Page 1 of 10, I II III, and more. Start from any number you choose.
Adjust font size, colour, bold/italic, margins, opacity, prefix/suffix text, and skip or target specific page ranges.
Use uppercase (I, II, III) or lowercase (i, ii, iii) Roman numerals — perfect for book front matter and appendices.

PDF page numbers are labels added to each page of a document so readers can quickly navigate and reference sections. They are standard in reports, books, contracts, academic papers, and manuals.
Unlike page numbers in a word processor that exist only in the edit layer, page numbers added via our tool are embedded directly into the PDF content — so they appear in every viewer, in print, and in any downstream workflow.
Many PDFs are exported from design tools or assembled from scanned pages without any page numbers. Adding them afterwards is necessary when:
You are assembling a multi-section report where chapters start at different page offsets. You are printing a document and need physical page references. You are creating a book or thesis where front matter uses Roman numerals and the main body uses Arabic numbers. You are annotating or reviewing a PDF and need to reference specific pages by number.
Our tool makes it fast and easy. Upload your PDF, configure the numbering style (position, format, font, range), then click Apply & Download. The numbered PDF is ready in seconds — no software, no account.
Our tool goes beyond simple numbering. You can skip the first page (useful for cover pages), start from a custom number (for multi-document reports), add prefix or suffix text (“Appendix A – 1”), control opacity for subtle footers, and even use reverse numbering for specialised document formats.

Yes. In the Start Number field, enter any positive integer. For example, enter 5 to start numbering at 5 — useful when a PDF is part of a larger document set.
Yes. Use the Prefix and Suffix fields. For example, set Prefix to "Draft – Page " and leave Suffix empty to get "Draft – Page 1", "Draft – Page 2", and so on.
