About Add Page Numbers
Add page numbers to your PDF document in various positions and formats. Choose bottom-left, center, or right alignment. Supports formats like plain numbers, 'Page X', and 'X of Y'.
How It Works
The tool uses pdf-lib to embed Helvetica font text at the bottom of each page. Page numbers are drawn as overlay text — existing content is not modified. You can customize the starting number, position, and format.
Step by Step
- 1 Upload a PDF file
- 2 Choose position (bottom-left, center, or right)
- 3 Select format (number, "Page X", or "X of Y")
- 4 Set the starting page number
- 5 Click Add Numbers and download
Tips
- Bottom-center is the most common position for academic papers.
- Use "X of Y" format for documents where total page count matters.
- Set starting number to 0 if the first page is a cover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip the first page?
Set starting number to 0 — the first page will show '0' or you can combine with Split to remove it.
