Add page numbers to a PDF

Add a PDF, choose where the numbers go and how they look, and download the numbered PDF. Your PDF stays on your device: nothing is uploaded.

Your files are processed on this device. Nothing is uploaded, and once you’ve added your first file it keeps working in flight mode.

How to add page numbers to a PDF

  1. Tap "Add a PDF" or drop it onto the box.
  2. Choose where the numbers go, the style and the size.
  3. Tap the Number button, check the preview, then download.

Good to know

Numbers are placed where they look right on screen, even on pages that are stored sideways, and the rest of each page is left exactly as it was.

Tick "Leave the first page without a number" for a cover page, and set "Start counting at" if the numbering should continue from another document.

Questions

Can I start at a number other than 1?

Yes. Set "Start counting at" to any number.

Can I skip the cover page?

Yes. The first page then gets no number, and numbering starts on the second page.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The numbers are added by your browser on your device.
