🔢 Page Numbers
Number the pages of a PDF. Choose where the number sits, what it says, and which number the file starts at.
Number the pages of a PDF so the file references itself properly. Choose a corner or the top or bottom centre, pick how the number reads — 1, Page 1, or Page 1 of 12 — and say which number the first page should carry.
How to use the Page Numbers
- Choose the PDF. The page count is read first, so the 'of N' formats come out right.
- Pick a position and a format, and set the number the first page should carry.
- Press Number the pages and download.
Why people use it
- Adding numbers to a forty-page contract after the fact is normally a trip through a word processor and a fight with section breaks. Here it is two clicks, and the file never leaves the machine.
- The start number matters more than people expect: a document that continues an earlier one should start at 12, not 1, and the 'of N' formats will carry the right total through.
- The existing page content is untouched, so nothing is re-rendered and the searchable text layer survives.
Frequently asked questions
Can I skip the first page?
Not in a single pass — numbering applies to every page. If the cover should not be numbered, number the file and merge the cover back in front of it, or split the cover out first.
What does the 'of N' format count?
The last number the document will carry, so the labels stay consistent even when you start at something other than 1. A ten-page file starting at 5 reads '5 of 14'.
Can I change the font or the colour?
The size is adjustable; the font is Helvetica and the colour is black. A standard font is what keeps the file small and the output predictable, and page numbers are rarely the place to get creative.
