How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF Free
Add page numbers to any PDF for free — choose position, font, starting number, and which pages to number. No software needed.
FixMyPDF's page numbers tool adds page numbers to any PDF. Choose position, font size, starting number, and page range — all free, no account required.
Steps to Add Page Numbers
Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/page-numbers. Upload your PDF. Choose position: bottom centre, bottom right, bottom left, top centre, top right, top left. Set starting number (default 1). Choose font size and colour. Click Add Page Numbers and download.
Position Options
Bottom centre: most common for books and reports. Bottom right/left: common for legal documents. Top positions: less common, used in specific document styles. The choice depends on your document's layout — avoid placing numbers over existing footer content.
Skipping the First Page
For documents with a cover page, set the page range to start from page 2. The cover gets no page number; page numbers start at 1 (or your chosen starting number) from page 2.
Use Cases
Reports and theses requiring page numbers for citation. Legal documents needing page reference for court filing. Long business documents shared for review. Books or booklets created from PDF.
