Add Page Numbers to PDF — Free, Simple, No Upload

Multi-page PDFs are hard to navigate without page numbers. Whether it's a report, thesis, contract, or manual, adding page numbers makes documents more organized and easier to reference. PeacefulPDF adds numbers to every page in your PDF in one click.

The tool places page numbers at the bottom center of each page in Helvetica font. The format is "page / total" (like "3 / 24") so readers always know where they are and how many pages remain. Perfect for documents that will be printed or distributed.

Processing happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF loads into memory, numbers are added using pdf-lib, and the result downloads directly to your device. No uploads, no accounts, no limits.

FAQ

Where are page numbers placed?

Page numbers appear at the bottom center of each page. The font is Helvetica at 12pt size.

Can I customize the font or position?

Currently, page numbers use a fixed style (bottom center, Helvetica). Customization options may be added in the future.

Does this work on double-sided documents?

Yes. Numbers are added to every page, including when printed double-sided. If you need alternating positions (inside/outside margins), you may need a desktop tool.
