Short, plain answers about adding page numbers to a PDF in the browser: where they go, where numbering starts, formats like “Page 1 of 10” and what the file keeps.

• How to add page numbers to a PDF

  Add page numbers to a PDF without uploading it: pick one of six positions, a format, a size and a color, check every page in the preview, then save a new PDF.

• Start PDF page numbering on a specific page

  Start numbering on page 3, or begin at 5 instead of 1: choose the PDF pages that get a number and the first number printed, then check the result before saving.

• Add page numbers but skip the cover page

  Leave the cover or title page of a PDF without a number: start numbering on page 2, decide whether it shows 1 or 2, and check every page before saving.

• “Page 1 of N” page numbers in a PDF

  Number a PDF as “Page 1 of 10” or “1 / 10”: which formats exist in which language, what the total counts when you skip pages, and how it looks on the page.

• When your PDF already has page numbers

  When a PDF already shows page numbers, adding new ones doesn't remove them. How to avoid overlaps, continue the existing sequence, and tell printed numbers from page labels.
