About Add Page Numbers

Add Page Numbers stamps page numbers onto a PDF with control over font, size, colour, starting number, margin, and excluded pages. Users searching "add page numbers to PDF" or "number PDF pages" need clear navigation on printed packs and shared reports.

Upload a PDF, configure numbering style, exclude cover pages if needed (for example 1, 3-5), and download. Consistent margins stop numbers from colliding with body text.

If a merge changed order, number after the final page sequence is fixed. Existing numbers in the page image are not removed automatically.

Benefits of Add Page Numbers

Frequently asked questions

Can I start from page 0 or i, ii, iii?

Use the start-at control for numeric starts; roman styles depend on UI support.

Numbers on every page including cover?

Exclude page 1 if you want a clean cover.

Header vs footer?

Choose the position option that matches your layout.

Already numbered PDF?

Adding again may duplicate - remove old numbers in an editor first if needed.

Odd positions after crop?

Crop first, then number so placement matches final margins.
