Adding page numbers to a PDF makes it easier to reference, navigate, and print. Whether you are numbering a report, a legal filing, or a book draft, you can add professional page numbers to any PDF for free — entirely in your browser.
Go to pdfeditor.onl/page-numbers. The tool runs in any modern browser on desktop or mobile.
Click the upload area or drag your PDF onto the page. The file is processed locally — it is never uploaded to a server.
Choose the position (bottom center, bottom right, top center, etc.), font size, starting page number, and whether to skip the first page. You can also set a prefix or suffix such as "Page 1 of N" or "- 1 -".
Tip: For academic and legal documents, bottom center is the conventional position. For books and reports, alternating left/right (mirrored) placement is preferred.
Click Apply Page Numbers and download your numbered PDF. The numbers are permanently embedded into each page.
