Can I start numbering from a number other than one?

Yes — set the starting figure and the count runs from there across every page in order.

Where on the page can the numbers go?

Pick from bottom center, the bottom corners, or the top, and every page gets its figure in that spot.

Can I show a running total like a page of pages count?

Yes — switch on the total option and each stamp reads as the current page over the last one.

Will adding numbers change my text or images?

No, the existing content is left exactly as it was; only a small number is laid into the margin.

Add page numbers to a PDF, in your browser

Adding page numbers here stamps a small figure onto each sheet — bottom center, a corner, or wherever you prefer — and lets you decide the starting count and whether to show a running total. The numbering is drawn into your document by your own browser, so a report you are finishing gets its pagination without being sent off to any website.

Choose a PDF, pick a position and starting number, then download the numbered file.

How this works

What happens when you use this tool

pdf-lib writes the figures using the built-in Helvetica typeface, so no font has to be supplied and the numbers sit neatly in the margin you choose.

Because the numbers are drawn on top of the existing pages, the rest of your layout is untouched and nothing reflows.

What this tool can't do

Numbers are drawn on top, not woven in: The figures sit in the page margin over whatever is there; if a page already prints content right at the edge, a number could overlap it, so check a busy corner before relying on the result.
It will not renumber existing labels: Any page numbers already printed inside your document stay as they are — this tool adds its own stamp rather than editing numbers that were baked into the original.
