About Add Page Numbers to PDF
Adding page numbers is handy before printing or sharing a long document. You can place them in any corner or centered, and use a simple count or a “1 / N” style.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Drop a PDF, pick a position and style, and download the numbered file. It all runs in your browser.
Can I start from a number other than 1?
Yes — set the “Start at” value and the first page will use that number.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Page numbers are added on your device with pdf-lib; nothing is sent to a server.
Can I choose where the numbers appear?
Page numbers are placed in a standard footer position so they're consistent and out of the way of your content.
Will adding numbers change my PDF's content?
No — it only overlays the numbers; your existing text and layout are untouched, and the work happens in your browser.
