The Professional Way to Add Page Numbers to PDF
A document without page numbers can be frustrating to read, especially when it's a long report, thesis, or legal filing. Our Add Page Numbers tool allows you to apply professional numbering to your PDF files in just a few clicks, making your documents look authoritative and easy to reference.
We offer complete flexibility. You don't have to settle for a single default style. You can choose exactly where the numbers appear, whether you want them in the header, footer, left, right, or center. Our tool handles the complex task of modifying the PDF's internal structure while preserving all your original content.
Customizable Numbering Styles
- Position Control: Place numbers in any of the 6 standard locations (top or bottom, left, center, or right).
- Typography Options: Select from various fonts and adjust the size to match your document's existing style.
- Dynamic Formatting: Choose between simple numbers (1, 2, 3), or more descriptive formats like "Page 1 of 10".
- Start Anywhere: Need to skip the title page? You can choose which page the numbering should start from.
Security and privacy are at the heart of everything we do. Your files are processed using high-level encryption and are never stored longer than necessary. Whether you're a student, a lawyer, or a business professional, you can trust our tool with your most sensitive documents.
After numbering your pages, you might want to Merge PDF files to combine indexed reports, or Protect PDF to ensure your document stays safe.
