Why use this tool

Nothing leaves your device

Numbers are drawn locally via WebAssembly — your document is never uploaded.

Start from any number

Useful when a document is part of a larger set that doesn't start at page 1.

Two formats to choose from

Plain numbers, or "page / total" if readers need to know how long the document is.

Common use cases

Number a long report

Add page numbers so readers can navigate and reference specific pages.

Continue numbering across volumes

Start a second document's numbering where the first one left off.

Prep for printing

Make sure a printed and collated document stays in the right order.

Pro tips

  • Merge PDFs first if you need continuous numbering across multiple source files.
  • Use "page / total" format when readers need to know how far they are through a document.
  • Bottom-center is the most common convention for formal documents.
