About Add Page Numbers to PDF

Add Page Numbers stamps a numbered label onto every page of your PDF, in whichever corner or center position you choose. Pick a starting number and a format such as plain digits, "Page 1", or "Page 1 of N", and the tool measures each label so it lines up perfectly with a consistent margin on every page.

Unlike server-based numbering tools that copy your files to a remote machine, Neuctra Tools draws the page numbers locally in your browser. Your document stays on your device from upload to download.

How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF

  1. Drop your PDF into the upload area or browse for it.

  3. Pick a format and, if needed, change the starting number and font size.
  4. Click Apply and download the numbered PDF.

Built for Flexibility and Privacy

Fully Customizable

Choose from six positions and four numbering formats, with a custom starting number and font size.

Private by Design

Numbers are drawn locally in your browser, so your document is never uploaded to a server.

Upload your PDF, choose a position, format, and starting number, then click Apply. The tool stamps a page number onto every page and lets you download the finished document immediately.
Set the Starting Number field to whatever value you want the first page to display, such as 5 instead of 1. Every following page counts up from that number automatically.
This tool numbers every page in the document sequentially from your chosen starting value. To skip a cover page, split it out first with a PDF split tool, number the remaining pages, then merge the files back together.
Choose from six positions: top or bottom, combined with left, center, or right alignment. The tool measures each label's width so it stays correctly aligned no matter which corner you pick.
Yes, select the Page 1 of N format option before applying. Each page then shows its own number alongside the total page count, such as Page 3 of 12.
Yes, Add Page Numbers is completely free with no account, watermark, or daily limit. It also runs entirely inside your browser, so your document is never uploaded anywhere.
No, your file never leaves your device. Page numbers are drawn onto the PDF locally using client-side JavaScript, so nobody but you ever sees the document.
No, the page number is drawn as a small text label near the edge of the page with a margin, leaving your original content untouched. Existing text, images, and layout stay exactly as they were.
Page numbers are rendered in the standard Helvetica font at the font size you choose. This keeps file size small and ensures the numbers display consistently across every PDF viewer.
