PDF only · One file at a time
Files stay on your device and are never uploaded.
This free browser tool adds consistent numbering to contracts, reports, handouts, and other documents. Customize the position, starting value, and number-only or number-with-total format for easier printing and reference.
All work happens locally in your browser, protecting privacy and avoiding upload delays.
Usually, merge PDFs first and then number the combined document. Add a text watermark if you also need a copyright notice.
Process one PDF of up to 50 MB at a time. Every page is numbered, so a cover cannot be skipped. Choose from six positions, use a whole-number starting value of 0 or more, and select either a number or number / last-number format. Labels use a fixed 12 pt size about 32 pt from the edge.
Password-protected or encrypted files cannot be opened. A damaged file, a .pdf file whose contents are not actually PDF, or a very complex document that exhausts browser memory can also fail. If an existing header or footer occupies the chosen spot, processing may succeed but the new label can overlap it; generate again in another position.
Suppose three attachments have been merged into a 12-page proposal. Choose bottom right, start at 1, and number + total. The first page should read 1 / 12, page six 6 / 12, and the last page 12 / 12, giving reviewers an unambiguous reference.
No. Page numbers are added entirely in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device.
Choose from six positions: top or bottom, aligned left, center, or right.
Yes. Set any starting number. The number-plus-total format displays values such as 3 / 10.
No. Numbers are overlaid on each page while the original content and page count stay unchanged.
No. Unlock password-protected PDFs before adding them.
No. The tool is free, requires no account, and adds no watermark.
