How do you add page numbers to a PDF?
Many PDFs are assembled from parts — merged chapters, exported slides, scans — and end up with no page numbering at all, which makes them hard to reference in meetings, reviews, or academic submissions. This tool stamps page numbers directly into the PDF, in your browser. Load the file, choose where the number goes (bottom corner, center, or top), pick the format — Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) or Roman (i, ii, iii) — and set the starting number, which lets you skip a cover page or front matter. You can also add text around the number, like "Page X of Y" or the document's name. The numbers become part of each page, so they appear in every viewer and on every printout. Processing is 100% local via WebAssembly: the document is never uploaded, no signup is needed, and the tool works offline once loaded.
How to use Add Page Numbers to PDF
- Load the PDF you want to add page numbering to.
- Configure the number's position (bottom corner, center, or top), the format (1, 2, 3 or i, ii, iii), and the starting page number.
- Apply the numbering and download the PDF with page numbers professionally embedded on every sheet.
Common use cases
Finish corporate reports professionally
Add consecutive numbering to quarterly reports, meeting minutes, and project documents so sections are easy to reference in reviews and presentations.
Number theses and academic papers
Give long academic documents proper pagination so readers and examiners can cross-reference sections, footnotes, and bibliography precisely.
Paginate merged documents
After combining several PDFs into one, add a single continuous numbering sequence so the final document reads as one coherent file.
Prepare legal filings and formal submissions
Courts, agencies, and institutions often require numbered pages. Stamp compliant numbering — including a custom starting number — before filing.
Number confidential documents privately
Contracts and internal reports are numbered locally in your browser — the file never reaches any server.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF for free?
Load the file, choose position, format, and starting number, then download the numbered PDF. Free, no signup, no watermark, and no page limits.
Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
Yes. You can set any starting number — useful for excluding covers, tables of contents, or preliminary pages from the main numbering.
Can I choose where the number appears on the page?
Yes. Place it in the bottom-right corner, bottom center, or top of the page, so it fits your document's layout and style conventions.
Can I use Roman numerals or add text around the number?
Yes. Choose Arabic (1, 2, 3) or Roman (i, ii, iii) formats, and add prefixes or suffixes such as "Page X of Y" or the document name for extra context.
Are the numbers permanent parts of the PDF?
Yes. Numbers are embedded into each page's content, so they show up in every PDF viewer and on every printout — not just in this tool.
Is it safe to number confidential PDFs online?
With Docuboxer, yes. The numbering runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly; the document is never uploaded or stored on a server.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, you can disconnect from the internet and keep numbering documents — all processing is local.
