Page Numbers

Add visible page numbers to every page of your PDF. You pick the position, format, font size, and color -- the tool handles the rest.

How It Works

1. Upload your PDF file.
2. Configure the page number settings in the options panel that appears.
3. Click Add Page Numbers to process.
4. The numbered PDF downloads automatically.

Options

• Position -- Choose where page numbers appear: Bottom Center, Bottom Left, Bottom Right, Top Center, Top Left, or Top Right.
• Format -- Select between simple numbering (1, 2, 3...) or "page X of Y" format (1 / 5, 2 / 5...).
• Font Size -- Set the size of the page number text. Defaults to 12.
• Color -- Pick any color for the page number text using the color picker.

Features

• Six positioning options covering all corners and center positions
• Two numbering formats: simple sequential or "page X of Y"
• Customizable font size from 6 to 72 points
• Full color picker for text color
• Automatic margin handling that keeps numbers within safe areas regardless of page size

Use Cases

• Preparing documents for print that need visible page references
• Adding page numbers to a merged PDF created from multiple source files
• Numbering presentation handouts before distribution
• Adding sequential numbering to legal documents or contracts

Tips

• The "page X of Y" format is helpful for documents where readers need to know the total length, like proposals or reports.
• If you need different numbering styles for different sections (like Roman numerals for front matter), use the Add Page Labels tool instead.
