PDF Page Numbers
Add professional page numbering — 7 formats, 6 positions, full styling control. All in your browser.
16 powerful features in one tool
Full control over position, format, styling, and page selection.
6 position presets
Top or bottom, left, center, or right. Every standard placement option is one click away.
7 number formats
Plain (1), Page 1, 1 of N, Page 1 of N, [1], Roman lowercase (i, ii), or Roman uppercase (I, II).
Custom prefix & suffix
Wrap numbers with any text. Create "- 1 -", "Section 1", or any format your document requires.
Skip first N pages
Leave cover pages, tables of contents, and executive summaries unnumbered. Numbering starts after the skip.
Custom starting number
Start numbering at any value. Useful for mid-document numbering or matching external page indices.
Specific page ranges
Number only pages 3–50, or any custom range. Perfect for multi-section documents.
Font family selection
Choose from Helvetica, Times Roman, or Courier — all standard PDF fonts with universal reader support.
Adjustable font size (6–48pt)
Fine-tune the number size to match your document style. From subtle 8pt footers to bold 24pt headers.
Custom number color
Pick any color with a visual color picker. Match your brand, theme, or document convention.
Adjustable edge margin
Control the distance from the page edge. From tight 10pt to generous 72pt (1 inch) margins.
Fine-tune nudge controls
After setting a base position, nudge the number in 1pt increments in any direction for pixel-perfect placement.
Live sample preview
See exactly what the first page number will look before you commit. No guessing, no surprises.
Smart total count
When using "1 of N" format, the total counts only numbered pages. Skipped covers are excluded from the count.
Flattened into page content
Numbers are real text, not images. Fully searchable, selectable, copyable, and screen-reader accessible.
