How to add page numbers to a PDF online
1. Upload your PDF
Drag and drop the document you want to number. Files up to 1MB are supported on the free plan.
2. Choose the format and position
Pick where the numbers appear, the number format, and the page to start counting from. A live preview shows the result before you save.
3. Download
Save the numbered PDF instantly. The page numbers are added to every page, with no account and no watermark.
Number a document in seconds
Reports, contracts, manuals, and legal bundles all read better with page numbers, and many are not accepted without them. Adding numbers by hand to a long PDF is slow and error-prone.
PainlessPDF adds clean, consistent page numbers across the whole document at once, so a finished file is ready to print, share, or file.
Control position, format, and starting number
Place numbers in the header or footer, left, center, or right. Choose a plain number or a format like 'Page 1', and set which page the count begins on so cover pages and appendices are handled the way you want.
Free, in your browser, no software
There is nothing to install and no Acrobat licence required. Adding page numbers works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook, with no account and no watermark.
