Add Page Numbers

Insert page numbers at any position with custom formatting.

Coming soon

We're polishing this tool — read on to learn what it'll do, or try one of our working tools above.

Adding page numbers should be a single click. Converterzilla will let you place numbered marks on any corner or center of every page, with optional total pages, custom formats like Page X of Y, and adjustable font size — all in your browser.

How Add Page Numbers will work once it ships

This tool isn't live yet — the steps below describe the planned experience, not something you can do today.

  1. Drop the PDF. Pick the document you want to number. Existing pages keep their content; we only add a small numeric overlay.
  2. Choose position and format. Select bottom-center, top-right, or any corner, and a format like 1, Page 1, or Page 1 of 12.
  3. Generate and save. We bake the page numbers in and download the new file. Your original stays untouched.

What Add Page Numbers will offer

Six placement options

Top, middle and bottom × left, center and right gives you the placement that fits your layout.

Custom format strings

Use simple templates like Page {n} of {total} so the result reads exactly how you want it.

Skips title pages

Set a starting page if your document has a cover or table of contents you don't want to number.

Questions we expect about Add Page Numbers

Yes. Set the start page to 3, and the first two pages will be left blank while page 3 onward is numbered as 1, 2, 3.

Helvetica by default, in black, at a size that adapts to the page. Custom fonts are on the roadmap.

Page numbers are placed in the page margin. If your existing footer fills the margin, they may overlap — choose a different corner in that case.
