Add customizable page numbers to your PDF documents with your preferred position and style.
Adding page numbers to a PDF inserts automatic numbering into the header or footer of each page. Multi-page reports, manuals, and academic papers all benefit from page numbers to help readers navigate and reference content.
Report writers add page numbers before submitting to clients or managers. Students add numbering to thesis documents for academic submission. Publishers add page numbers to book layouts before printing. Legal professionals number court submissions for easy reference during proceedings.
Choose the position (top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right), start number, and format. Page numbers are added by pdf-lib rendering — processing is entirely local and private.
Your files never leave your browser. No account required, no server uploads — just fast, local processing. This is what it means to add page numbers to PDF without uploading.
Place page numbers at the top or bottom, left, center, or right.
Choose from various numbering formats like "Page 1 of X" or simple digits.
Apply to all pages, or skip the first page for title pages.
Open LovePDFs Add Page Numbers, upload your PDF, select the page number position, choose your format and start number, then apply and download.
Yes! You can choose which pages to start numbering from.
The tool uses a clean, professional default font. Custom font selection is coming in a future update.
