Adds Page X of Y to the bottom of every page.

You can also paste a file directly (Ctrl+V or ⌘V).

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to a server at any point.

Why Number PDF Pages?

Page numbers are useful in reports, manuals, proposals, academic documents, contracts and any multi-page file where people need to refer to a specific page. A Page X of Y format also shows readers both their current position and the total document length.

How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF

Choose your document and run the page-numbering tool. Filevolo adds the page labels across the document and creates a new downloadable PDF - you don't need a full desktop PDF editor just to number pages.

Frequently asked questions

It can, if a page already has something printed very close to the bottom edge. The numbers sit a small, fixed distance from the bottom of the page, which fits cleanly on most documents.

No. Reading the PDF and adding the page numbers both happen in your browser.
