Add Page Numbers
Number your PDF pages with custom position, size and starting number.
About Add Page Numbers
Documents assembled from multiple sources — merged reports, scanned archives, court bundles — usually lack consistent page numbers. Adding them makes the document citable ("see page 47") and keeps printed copies in order if they're ever dropped.
This tool stamps sequential numbers on every page in the position and style you pick. It's a small change that makes long documents dramatically easier to navigate and reference in meetings.
How to use Add Page Numbers
- 1
Load the document
Open the PDF that needs numbering — merged files are the most common case.
- 2
Choose position and style
Bottom-center is the convention; corners work better when footers are already occupied.
- 3
Set the starting number
Start from 1, or from a higher number when the document continues an existing volume.
- 4
Apply and save
Numbers are drawn onto each page and the finished PDF downloads immediately.
Tips for better results
- ✓Number your bundle after merging, not before — otherwise each section restarts at 1.
- ✓Legal bundles often need numbers in the top-right; check the required format before stamping.
- ✓Pick a corner that avoids existing footers or headers to keep pages tidy.
