How To Number PDF Pages (Free)
The problem could be obvious:
- You have a PDF without pages that are not counted;
- There are plenty of pages and you can get lost easily;
- You want yourself and the readers to know the page you’re on.
As an example, you probably want to add a little “8” on page number 8 in order to know which page it is.
Somewhere on the page — may that be at the bottom, at the top, in the corners or in the middle. At the moment, your PDF doesn’t have these numbers.
What’s there to do? Use our PDF page numberer which automatically counts every page for you and adds a little number on all of them.
How to number a PDF document’s pages
- Upload a document above;
- Select the area to number the pages;
- Click the blue button “Apply changes”;
Wait a few seconds ⏲️.
After that, our system will let you know that you can download the PDF that has its pages numbered.

In this image, you can observe how the bottom-middle point is selected, and so, that’s where the page’s number will appear.
Though, you can place that wherever you want. To do that, simply select the spot where you want to number the PDF.
PRO Tip: If you want to create a bigger PDF document, just click the “Add pages” button and start to combine PDF files at once.
At the end, you’ll end up with one numbered PDF file that has content from multiple combined documents.
That’s the whole story!
