Best For

Stamping page numbers onto a multi-page document before printing or distributing it — reports, contracts, manuals.

Common Uses

•Numbering pages on a contract before it’s printed for signing
•Adding "Page X of N" to a long report for easier navigation
•Continuing numbering on a document that follows on from another
•Preparing a manual or handbook for print with page references

💡 Pro Tip

Use the "Page X of N" format on longer documents — it tells readers how far through they are, which plain numbers alone don’t convey.

📖Add Page Numbers Guide

Stamps page numbers onto every page of a PDF — you choose the position, size, starting number, and format.

When to use this

Use this before printing or distributing a multi-page document that needs page references — reports, contracts, manuals, anything readers might need to navigate or cite by page.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. 1Upload your PDF Select the document to number.
  2. 2Choose position and format Pick from 6 positions, a font size from 8-36pt, and a format — plain numbers, "Page X of N", or "— X —".
  3. 3Set a starting number if needed Numbering starts at 1 by default, but you can start from any number if this document continues from another.
  4. 4Download the numbered PDF Your file downloads with page numbers stamped on every page.

Tips for best results

  • ✓If this document is a continuation of another one, set the starting number to match where the previous document left off.
  • ✓Use "Page X of N" format for longer documents so readers immediately know how far through they are.
  • ✓Keep the default 28pt margin and gray color unless you need the numbering to stand out more.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ⚠Starting the numbering above 1 and using the "Page X of N" format — the "N" total is counted from your start number, not the document's real page count, so it can look inflated if you're not expecting that.
  • ⚠Choosing a font size too large for the margin, which can crowd other content near the page edge.
  • ⚠Numbering a document that will later have pages added or removed — re-run the tool after any page changes so the numbers stay accurate.
