or drag & drop
Organize documents with customizable online PDF page numbering.
How it works
Pick the style and choose where the numbers should show up on the page. It might be different for contracts or academic papers, for example. When you’re done, download the updated PDF.
Accessible everywhere
PDF Candy can add page numbers to PDF in the browser. Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS - it doesn’t matter. There’s no need to install any additional software.
Insert page numbers in any PDF
Our service is free to use making it ideal for students numbering essays or professionals organizing reports. We ensure you work with any tool of PDF Candy without ads or registration.
Multiple sharing options
You can save an output file back on the device. Create a download link with a QR code to share the PDF by URL. Another option is to upload to supported cloud storage: Google Drive and Dropbox
Structure preserved
The file’s formatting and design stay intact. Only the page numbers are added to the PDF, so you receive a document identical to the original, just numbered.
Fast processing
Everything happens online, powered by fast cloud servers. No waiting around and losing time. Even huge PDFs - books, reports, multi-chapter files - get numbered in seconds.
Add custom page numbers to your PDF:
1Pick from nine placement options: top left, top center, top right; middle left, middle center, middle right; or bottom left, bottom center, bottom right.
2Select from three styles (e.g., 1, 2, 3… to simply enumerate pages).
3Decide if you want to ignore the first page, the last one, or both.
