Add Page Numbers to a PDF
Add page numbers to a PDF online — choose position, starting number and format like 1, Page 1, or 1 / N.
How to use Page Numbers
Choose a corner or center, top or bottom, a starting number, and a format — plain 1, Page 1, or 1 / 24 with the total. Starting at something other than 1 matters when you're numbering a section that gets merged after a cover and contents page.
- Drop your file into the box above, or click it to browse. You can also paste from the clipboard.
- Adjust the options to taste — the defaults are sensible for most cases.
- Press Process and watch the progress bar; everything runs on your device.
- Download your result — individually, or as a ZIP when there are several files.
Like every tool on ImageCompressorKits, this runs 100% in your browser: your file is never uploaded to any server, which makes it safe to use even with private documents — and it keeps working if you go offline after the page loads.
Frequently asked questions
Can I skip numbering the first page?
Set the start number accordingly and merge: extract page 1, number the rest starting at 2, then merge back. Direct skip toggles are on the roadmap.
What font are the numbers?
Helvetica, embedded standard in every PDF viewer, in the size and color you choose — guaranteed to render identically everywhere.
Is this tool really free?
Yes — completely free, with no signup, no watermark, and no file limits beyond what your device's memory can handle.
