Key Features

6 Position Options

Place numbers in any of 6 spots: top or bottom, paired with left, center, or right. Header, footer, or corner — pick what doesn't conflict with your existing page content.

Custom Starting Number

Start numbering from any value, not just 1. Useful for PDFs that continue another document, or for keeping the cover and TOC unnumbered while chapter 1 starts as page 1.

Format & Font Size Control

Choose number format and font size. Numbers can blend in subtly or stand out boldly to match the document's style — from formal reports to printed manuscripts.

Skip Cover & Front Matter

Set the first numbered page so cover, table of contents, or copyright pages stay clean. The numbering range is fully customizable per document.

Fast Even on 500-Page Books

Page numbers render in a single pdf-lib pass. Long manuscripts, lecture notes, and reports get numbered in seconds — no per-page wait.

100% Private — Local Processing

Page numbers are added with pdf-lib entirely in your browser. Manuscripts, legal exhibits, and proprietary reports never leave your device.
