Arrange pages

Export the numbered PDF
Generate the final file, then download the new PDF with page numbers applied.
Add page numbers to a PDF without opening a desktop editor
This page helps users number PDF pages after the file is already finished. That is useful for reports, contracts, handbooks, proposals, academic PDFs, court bundles, and print-ready documents that need clear page references.
The workflow is built for direct action. Upload your PDF, preview every page, drag pages into the right order, select a position, choose a numbering style, and export the updated file. The interface is intentionally simple so search visitors can finish the task fast.
Built for quick pagination and clean output
Flexible placement
Choose top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right page number placement.
Multiple numbering formats
Use plain numbers, Page 1 labels, Page 1 of N, dashed styles, letters, or Roman numerals.
Starting number control
Start from 1 or begin at another value to match an existing document sequence.
Drag-and-drop page order
Rearrange pages visually before numbering so the final file follows the right reading order.
Desktop and mobile friendly
The page layout is responsive, so users can upload, review, and export on different screen sizes.
Client-side workflow
This tool is designed for local browser processing, which is useful for documents that should stay on your device during the task.
A straightforward privacy message matters on PDF tool pages
Users often upload contracts, invoices, legal bundles, internal reports, and academic files. Clear privacy wording reduces friction and helps visitors understand how the tool handles their documents before they start.

- The tool includes an on-page note that files are processed locally in the browser.
- Password-protected or damaged PDFs may fail to load and should be unlocked or repaired first.

Common questions about adding page numbers to PDF files
How do I add page numbers to a PDF online?
Upload the PDF, choose the position and numbering format, set the starting value if needed, then export and download the numbered PDF.
Can I number pages with Roman numerals or letters?
Yes. This page supports standard numbers, Page N labels, Page N of N, uppercase and lowercase letters, and uppercase and lowercase Roman numerals.
Can I rearrange PDF pages before adding page numbers?
Yes. The workspace lets you drag pages into a new order before applying page numbers, which is useful when the uploaded file is not in the final sequence yet.
Does this version skip a cover page automatically?
No. This version applies numbering to every page that remains in the workspace at export time. For more complex document structures, prepare the file first with your page organization workflow.
Is it safe to use for private PDF files?
This tool is presented as a local browser workflow, and the interface clearly tells users that files are processed entirely in the browser. That is a strong privacy signal for visitors handling sensitive documents.
