Add Custom Page Numbers to PDF Documents Easily
Formal business proposals, legal filings, university dissertations, contracts, and financial prospectuses require clear, professional pagination. Printing or distributing an unnumbered 100-page document makes it nearly impossible for clients or colleagues to reference specific sections during meetings. Our Free Online PDF Page Numbering Tool allows you to stamp customized page numbers across any PDF document in seconds.
Customize typography to match your document branding. Select standard font faces (Helvetica, Times, Courier), font sizes (8pt to 14pt), and numbering styles ("1, 2, 3", "Page X", or "Page X of Y"). Position numbers in the header or footer, aligned left, centered, or right, and choose whether to exclude the cover page from numbering.
Enjoy clean, professional results without expensive Adobe Acrobat Pro subscriptions. All files are encrypted via SSL, processed without watermarks, and auto-purged from server disks within 60 minutes.
Position page numbers in the Header or Footer, aligned Left, Center, or Right to fit your layout.
Format as simple digits (1, 2, 3), "Page X", or executive "Page X of Y" total count pagination.
Start numbering from page 2 or 3 to keep the title cover page clean and unnumbered.
Professional typography stamping with no third-party branding, accounts, or fees.
