Adding page numbers to a PDF is necessary for long documents that need to be navigable and citable: business reports, theses, manuals, contracts. OnlinePdfEditor lets you insert page numbers at standard positions (bottom right corner, centre, etc.) with customisable font and size.
You can choose which number to start the numbering from (useful when the document is part of a series), the number format (1, 2, 3 or A, B, C) and whether to exclude the first page (typically the cover).
The operation happens in the browser without transmitting the file to external servers.
Yes. You can set any starting number, for example if the document continues another and you want pages to start from 10.
Yes. You can set numbering to start from the second page, useful when the first page is a cover.
Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3), Roman numerals (I, II, III) and letters (A, B, C) are supported.
No. Numbering happens entirely in the browser via pdf-lib. The file never leaves your device.
Yes. Page numbers are added as an overlaid layer without altering the original content.
Free, in the browser, nothing to install. Upload your PDF and go.
