Number the pages of a PDF
Insert page numbers into any PDF. Pick where the number goes, a format such as "1", "Page 1" or "Page 1 of 10", the font, size and colour, and the number to start counting from. You can leave the cover page unnumbered by choosing which pages to number, and a live preview shows the result before you save.
Good to know
Answers to common questions about Page numbers.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Set the page range to start at page 2, and set "Start counting at" to the number that page should show.
Can I write "Page 1 of 10"?
Yes. Pick that format, or write your own using {n} for the page number and {total} for the page count.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Page numbers runs inside your browser tab and your file never leaves your device. Close the tab and nothing remains.
