Add page numbers to a PDF online, free
Number every page. Choose where the numbers go and how they read.
How to use Page numbers
- Choose the PDF that needs page numbers, such as a report, a thesis or a set of scanned pages.
- Pick where the number sits on the page from the position grid: any corner, or the middle of the top or bottom.
- Choose a style such as "Page 1 of 10", the number to start from, and the size.
- Press Add page numbers and download the numbered PDF. Rotated pages are numbered the right way up, and no watermark is added.
Page numbers: common questions
Is my file uploaded?
Only while it is being processed. Your file goes to ScalePDF’s server over an encrypted connection, is worked on in memory, and is deleted the moment the result comes back. Nothing is stored, logged or shared.
Is there a limit on how many PDFs I can number?
No. There is no daily or monthly limit and no account, and it stays free for life: use it as often as you like. Files up to 50 MB in all are processed on ScalePDF’s server; bigger ones are processed right on your device, which can take a little longer.
