About this tool
Add Numbers
Add page numbers to a PDF with control over the starting number, prefix or suffix, and position.
A long document without page numbers is harder to reference, discuss, or reassemble if pages get separated when printed. This tool adds page numbers across a PDF's pages with control over where numbering starts, an optional prefix or suffix (like "Page " or " of 12"), and where the number sits on the page — all processed in your browser.
Best for
reports, assignments, and print-ready documents that need ordered pages
Input
a PDF file and numbering preferences

When to choose this tool
Add Numbers is usually faster than manual pdf workflows because it reduces repetitive steps and keeps the complete flow in one interface. Compared with heavyweight desktop software, this tool prioritizes speed, accessibility, and simpler controls so users can finish routine tasks quickly without installation or licensing friction. For users who mainly need reports, assignments, and print-ready documents that need ordered pages, this focused approach often gives better execution speed and cleaner day-to-day usability, while still producing the PDF with page numbers added to every page that is suitable for practical work.
Privacy-first: Where browser-based processing is available, your files stay on your device. No file is uploaded to our servers unless strictly required for the tool to function.
