Organize your documents professionally with our free Add Page Numbers to PDF tool. Whether you are preparing a legal contract, a thesis, or a business report, consistent pagination is crucial for readability and referencing. Our tool offers a highly visual interface, allowing you to see exactly where your numbers will appear before you apply them. If you need to verify your file content first, you can use our PDF Viewer.
Unlike server-side tools that require you to upload your sensitive documents to a cloud, our solution processes everything locally within your browser. This ensures your data remains 100% private and secure. If your document is already sensitive, you might want to password protect your PDF before sharing it. With support for custom prefixes, suffixes (e.g., "Page 1 of 5"), Roman numerals, and selective page ranges, you have complete control over your document's presentation.
1. Upload your PDF: Drag and drop your file into the designated area or click to select a document from your device. Need to create a PDF from images first? Try our Image to PDF Converter.
2. Customize Settings: Use the control panel to select the position (e.g., Bottom Center), font style, size, and color. You can also add prefixes or choose specific page ranges to number.
3. Preview & Apply: The live preview updates instantly. Once satisfied, click "Add Page Numbers" to process the file. A download link will appear immediately after processing. If you realized you need to join multiple files before numbering, use our Merge PDF tool first.
