About the Add Page Numbers to PDF

Give your document professional page numbers in seconds. Choose where they go — bottom center, bottom right or top right — and ToolNest stamps a neat number on every page in a clean Helvetica style that matches any document.

Starting from a number other than 1 is supported too, which is handy when appending a document to a larger report. Everything is processed locally with pdf-lib, so your file never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

What do the numbers look like?

Clean 12pt Helvetica in dark grey, placed with a safe margin so they never overlap your content or get cut off by printers.

Can I start numbering from a different page or number?

You can start from any number — for example 5 — which is perfect for appendices and merged documents.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Numbering happens entirely in your browser.
