About this tool

The tool places a number on each page, at the top or bottom, on the left, centre or right. The format ranges from a plain “1” to “Page 1 of 12”, with your own text if you like (for example “Appendix {n}”). You can start numbering after a cover page, begin at a number other than 1 and alternate left and right for double-sided printing.

Rotated pages are handled so the number always reads the right way up. The preview shows the real result for each page before you download. The PDF is edited in your browser and never uploaded, which suits theses, reports, contracts and official paperwork.
