How to add page numbers to a PDF
Upload your PDF, choose where you want the numbers (top/bottom, left/center/right), pick a format, and click download. The tool embeds the numbers directly into the PDF using pdf-lib, so the result is a standard PDF that looks the same everywhere.
Why add page numbers?
- Documents and reports — professional-looking numbered pages for contracts, manuals, or proposals.
- Printed booklets — keep track of page order after printing.
- Academic submissions — many institutions require numbered pages.
- Legal filings — numbered pages are often a requirement for court documents.
