This tool adds page numbers to any PDF quickly and easily, choosing the position (top or bottom; left, center or right) and the number to start from. It's ideal for long documents, reports, notes, contracts or manuals where you need clear page references. Upload your PDF, set the numbering and download the numbered document, with no watermark and no quality loss. It's one of those tasks many paid editors charge for, and here it's free. The whole process runs in your browser with pdf-lib: your PDF is never uploaded to any server or stored, perfect for confidential documents.
