Add Page Numbers to PDF

How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF

1. Drag your PDF onto the drop zone, or click to browse for it.
2. Pick a position, a number format like Page 1 or 1 of N, and a font size.
3. Set the starting number and, if you like, skip numbering the first page (handy for cover pages).
4. Click Add Page Numbers & Download to stamp the document and save it.

Why use ZillaKit's PDF page-number tool?

The numbers are drawn straight into your PDF in the browser with the pdf-lib library, while pdf.js renders the page-one preview — nothing is ever uploaded to a server. That keeps reports, manuscripts, contracts, and course notes entirely on your device. You get real control: three positions, three common formats, a custom start number so appendices and multi-file documents line up, an optional skip-first-page toggle for cover sheets, and an adjustable font size. There's no signup, no watermark, and no page-count paywall for everyday use. Because there's no upload round-trip, numbering stays fast even for long documents and keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Five free jobs are included every day, with more available in seconds.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded to add page numbers?

No. Both the preview and the final numbering happen locally in your browser. Your file never leaves your device and nothing is sent to a server.

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes. Use the "Start at" field to begin at any number, which is useful when a document continues from another file.

How do I keep the cover page unnumbered?

Turn on "Skip first page". The first page is left blank and numbering begins on page two.

What does the "1 of N" format show?

It shows the current page and the total page count, like "3 of 12", so readers always know how far through they are.
