Number the pages of a PDF
Project reports, theses, tender documents and court filings usually have to be paginated. Add clean page numbers in the position and format you need — and skip the cover page, which is nearly always what people actually want.
Who uses this tool
Students submitting dissertations and project reports, professionals preparing tender or compliance documents, and anyone bundling papers that must be numbered for reference.
How to add page numbers
- Choose your PDF.
- Pick the position, format and starting number — tick "skip the first page" if page 1 is a cover.
- Click Add numbers & download.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Choose the PDF, pick where the number should sit and in what format, then download. The numbers are drawn into the file itself.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Tick "Skip the first page" — numbering then begins on page two.
Can I start numbering from a different number?
Yes. Set "Start at" to any number, which is useful when the document is one part of a larger bundle.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The numbers are added inside your browser; the file never leaves your device.
