How to add page numbers to a PDF

Choose where the number sits, how it reads and what number the first page gets. The first pages are shown so you can check before you download. The file stays on your device. Free, no account.

  1. Add the PDF

    Drop one file, or click to choose it. A file locked with a password cannot be opened.

  2. Choose the number

    Bottom or top, left, centre or right; “1”, “1 / 10”, “Page 1” or “Page 1 of 10”.

  3. Set the start

    Start at 1, at another number, or skip the cover so numbering starts on page 2.

  4. Download

    Check the first pages, then press Download. The original file is not changed.

Frequently asked questions

Not answered here? Ask Yangopen

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The file is read and written in your browser, on your device; it is not sent anywhere.

Does it keep the PDF's text and pictures?

Yes. The numbers are added on top of the pages with pdf-lib; the page content is not redrawn or compressed again. Text stays selectable.

Can I skip the cover?

Yes. Turn on “Skip the first page (cover)” and numbering starts on page 2. “First number” sets the number printed there.

What about a page that is already sideways?

The number is placed upright on the page as it is shown, using the page's own rotation and crop box, so it sits inside the visible page.

Is it free? Is there a limit?

Free, no account and no daily limit. One PDF at a time, up to 300 MB.
