Add Page Numbers to PDF is a free online tool that adds page numbers to every page of your PDF document. Choose the position — top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right — and the tool stamps sequential numbers on all pages instantly. You can customize the starting number, set a prefix or suffix (e.g., "Page 1 of 10"), choose font size and style, and exclude cover pages or table of contents from numbering. The tool supports multiple numbering formats including Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, and letters. All processing happens locally in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded to any server. There is no file size limit, no sign-up, and no watermark added. It is ideal for adding page numbers to academic papers, legal documents, reports, manuscripts, theses, and any multi-page PDF that needs professional numbering. The page numbers are overlaid on the existing content without altering the original layout, fonts, or images. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
