Add Page Numbers to PDF

Number the pages of a PDF with a custom start, position and format.

To add page numbers to a PDF, add the file and choose where the number goes and how it reads. You can start from any number, skip a cover page, and use formats from a bare digit to "Page 1 of 10". The numbers are drawn into each page.

Frequently asked questions

Can I skip numbering the cover?

Yes — the skip-first-page option omits it and starts the count on page two, which is the usual convention for reports and dissertations where the title page is unnumbered but still counted.
