Page Numbers

Add page numbers to your PDF documents

pdfty's page numbers tool stamps clean, professional page numbers onto your PDF. Pick the position (bottom center, bottom right, top corners), the format (1, Page 1, 1 of 12), and the starting number โ€” then download a numbered document in seconds.

It's the finishing touch merged documents usually need: after combining contracts, scans, or report chapters, the result has no consistent numbering. It's also essential for legal filings and academic submissions that require numbered pages, and for printed handouts that can get shuffled. You can skip numbering the first page โ€” handy when page one is a cover.

Numbers are drawn directly into the page content, so they print and display identically in every viewer. Free for files up to 20 MB and 50 pages โ€” no watermark, no signup. Files are uploaded over HTTPS and permanently deleted within 1 hour.

Frequently asked questions

Yes โ€” set both the first page to stamp (e.g. skip a cover) and the starting value (e.g. begin at 5 to continue an existing document).
