PDFcraft adds page numbers to any PDF for free — choose the position, font size, and starting number. Process happens instantly in your browser with no sign up and no file uploads.

What does the Add Page Numbers tool do?

The free page numbering tool stamps sequential numbers onto every page of your PDF in your chosen position. Numbers are embedded directly into the PDF file — they appear on every page in every viewer and when printed. You can choose from 6 positions (bottom center, bottom left, bottom right, top center, top left, top right), set the starting number, and adjust the font size. Processing runs entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device.
