Add Page Numbers

Stamp page numbers on a PDF — pick the corner, the format and where counting starts, skip the cover page. Runs entirely on your device.

About this tool

Add Page Numbers to PDF — Any Corner, Any Start

Number the pages of a PDF at the top or bottom, as "3", "3 / 12" or "Page 3 of 12". Everything runs locally in your browser — no upload, no sign-up, no watermark and no file size limit.

Position and Format

Choose the corner or centre, top or bottom, the size and a format with or without the page total.

Skip the Cover, Start Anywhere

Leave the title page blank and start counting at any number — handy for appendices and documents that continue another file.

Upright on Rotated Pages

Numbers sit at the bottom of the page as you see it, even on landscape pages stored as rotated portrait pages.

Frequently asked questions

Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?

No. Toolula processes the document inside your browser tab with pdf-lib and WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device.

Does adding page numbers change the rest of the PDF?

No. The numbers are drawn on top of each page; text, links and form fields stay as they were.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every Toolula PDF tool is free with no account, no trial and no daily limit — there is no server cost to pass on because your own device does the work.
