How to add page numbers to a PDF

Upload your PDF (drag & drop or browse).
Choose Add Page Numbers, then set position, number format, start value, and pages to skip.
Download the result and compare it with your original before sharing.

For a report with one cover, skip one page and start at 1. Compare the first numbered page and last page to catch an offset.

What are the limits of Add Page Numbers?

This adds text; it does not remove existing numbers or change viewer page-label metadata. Existing footers may overlap the new numbers.

How should I check the Add Page Numbers result?

Inspect long footnotes and different paper sizes. Choose another position if text collides and confirm the cover remains unnumbered.
