Add page numbers to a PDF

Number a document properly: pick the corner or centre, the format (1 · 1 of N · roman · letters), the starting value and which pages get stamped.

Numbers go in as real text — selectable, searchable and crisp at any zoom.

Number a document properly

Pick the corner or centre, the format (1, “1 of N”, roman numerals or letters), the starting value and which pages get stamped. Numbers go in as real text — selectable, searchable and crisp at any zoom, not baked into an image.

Make a document referenceable

Page numbers turn a stack of pages into something people can navigate and cite — “see page 12” only works if page 12 is labelled. Because the numbers go in as real text rather than a flattened image, they stay crisp at any zoom and do not interfere with the document’s existing content.

How it works

1. Drop a PDF and open Numbers.
2. Pick position, format and range.
3. Apply and download.
