Adding page numbers to a PDF makes long documents easier to navigate and reference. Page numbers are essential for professional reports, academic papers, legal briefs, manuals, and any multi-page document that will be read, printed, or cited by section.
The page numbering tool stamps numbers onto each page as a permanent element in the PDF. You can choose the position — header or footer, left, centre, or right — and customise the starting number. This is useful for documents that form part of a larger set where continuous numbering across files is required.
For documents with a cover page, title page, or table of contents that should not be numbered, you can set the tool to begin numbering from a specific page. The skipped pages are included in the output but contain no page number stamp.
Page numbers are added as real text elements in the PDF rather than as image overlays. This means they remain selectable, searchable, and render sharply at any zoom level. The output file is fully compatible with all standard PDF readers.

Yes. You can specify which page to begin numbering from, allowing you to exclude a cover page or title page from the page count.
The default is a clean, standard serif or sans-serif font at a size proportional to the page. Custom font and size options are available in the tool settings.
