How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF

Print a page number in the margin of every page.

When you need page numbers

Merged documents, long reports, and anything printed for reference benefit from page numbers so readers can navigate and refer back to a specific page.

How to add page numbers here

Upload your PDF and choose where the number should sit: bottom center, bottom left, or bottom right. Every page gets numbered starting from 1 by default.

Need numbering to start from something other than 1, continuing a document split across files, for instance? Describe that to the AI Assistant, e.g. "add page numbers starting at 12."
