FAQ
Is this PDF page number tool free?▼
Yes, completely free. No account, no watermark branding from our side, no hidden limit on pages. Free forever.
Is my PDF uploaded to any server?▼
No. Your PDF never leaves your device. All page numbering is applied inside your browser using pdf-lib and Helvetica from StandardFonts. Zero server involvement, zero privacy risk.
Can I skip the first page (cover page)?▼
Yes. Set "Skip pages" to 1 to leave the first page unnumbered. Set it to 2 to skip the first two pages, and so on. Useful for cover pages, title pages, and tables of contents.
What page number formats are available?▼
Four formats: plain numbers (1, 2, 3), dash format (- 1 -, - 2 -), Page prefix (Page 1, Page 2), and fraction format (1/10, 2/10 — showing current page and total pages). Choose based on document type — fraction format is great for reports and manuals.
Can I set a custom starting page number?▼
Yes. Use the "Start from" field to begin numbering from any number. This is useful when this PDF is one chapter of a larger document and you need page numbers to continue from where the previous chapter ended.
Does the live preview show exactly what the PDF will look like?▼
The preview shows the position, format, and color of the page number on a mock page. It updates in real time as you change settings. The actual font in the PDF is Helvetica — the preview font is slightly different for display purposes, but position and format are accurate.
About This Tool

Add Page Numbers to PDF — Free & Instant

Our PDF page number tool automatically adds numbers to every page of your PDF in the browser — no upload, no account, no server. Processing uses pdf-lib with Helvetica from StandardFonts, giving clean, professional typeset numbers.

Use this tool before printing, submitting official documents, or sharing reports where readers need to reference specific pages.

Which Page Number Format to Use?

Plain numbers (1, 2, 3) are clean and minimal — good for internal documents. "Page 1" format is clearer for external documents shared with clients. The fraction format (1/10) is excellent for multi-chapter reports where readers need to know total length. Dash format (- 1 -) is a classic typographic style for formal documents.

Government & Official Documents in India

Many Indian government tender submissions, court filings, and official applications require page-numbered PDFs. This tool lets you add clean, standard page numbers quickly — making your submission look professional and complete without expensive software.
