Add Page Numbers to PDF

Number the pages of a PDF — choose the position, format, size and starting number.

How do I add page numbers to a PDF?

Choose the PDF, a position (such as bottom centre) and a format like "Page {n} of {total}", then press Add numbers. {n} becomes each page’s number and {total} the page count; you can start from any number and skip cover pages.

Format examples

Format	Page 3 shows
`Page {n} of {total}`	Page 3 of 12
`{n}`	3
`- {n} -`	- 3 -
`{n} / {total}`	3 / 12

Set Skip the first … pages to 1 to leave a cover page unnumbered — numbering then starts on page 2 with your start number.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering at a different number?

Yes — set "Start at", for example 5 for a chapter that begins on page 5.

Which font is used?

Helvetica, a standard PDF font that displays everywhere, in dark grey.

Is my document uploaded?

No, numbers are added in your browser.
