What to know before you start
Numbering is added to every page, starting from an integer between 1 and 9999. A small white background is drawn beneath each number, which can cover existing content at that position. This tool does not remove old page numbers or change internal PDF page labels. Input limits are 300 MB and 500 pages.
Frequently asked questions
Can numbering start from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set a different starting number, for example 7 when continuing a larger document.
Can I skip the cover page?
This version numbers every page. Extract the pages to number first, then merge the cover back afterward if needed.
