Page Numbers
Add visible page numbers to every page of your PDF. You pick the position, format, font size, and color -- the tool handles the rest.
How It Works
- Upload your PDF file.
- Configure the page number settings in the options panel that appears.
- Click Add Page Numbers to process.
- The numbered PDF downloads automatically.
Options
- Position -- Choose where page numbers appear: Bottom Center, Bottom Left, Bottom Right, Top Center, Top Left, or Top Right.
- Format -- Select between simple numbering (1, 2, 3...) or "page X of Y" format (1 / 5, 2 / 5...).
- Font Size -- Set the size of the page number text. Defaults to 12.
- Color -- Pick any color for the page number text using the color picker.
Features
- Six positioning options covering all corners and center positions
- Two numbering formats: simple sequential or "page X of Y"
- Customizable font size from 6 to 72 points
- Full color picker for text color
- Automatic margin handling that keeps numbers within safe areas regardless of page size
Use Cases
- Preparing documents for print that need visible page references
- Adding page numbers to a merged PDF created from multiple source files
- Numbering presentation handouts before distribution
- Adding sequential numbering to legal documents or contracts
Tips
- The "page X of Y" format is helpful for documents where readers need to know the total length, like proposals or reports.
- If you need different numbering styles for different sections (like Roman numerals for front matter), use the Add Page Labels tool instead.
