About Add Page Numbers
Add Page Numbers keeps the complete file workflow inside this browser tab. Your selected file, its name, contents, settings, and generated output are not sent to AntiUpload or a cloud conversion service. Ads and aggregate traffic analytics stay outside the processing boundary and receive no file object or working buffer.
Add Page Numbers stamps a page number on every page of a PDF. Essential for long documents being reviewed, printed, or referenced — page numbers make navigation possible and reviewer comments traceable.
Position and format options let you customize the appearance to match your document style.

When to use Add Page Numbers
Preparing a document for printing and distribution
Long printed documents need page numbers so readers can find their place or reference specific pages.
Formatting legal or academic submissions
Courts, journals, and universities often require page numbering in submissions.
Labeling discovery or records batches
Use Bates numbering, filename tokens, and batch processing to give each page a traceable reference without uploading the documents.
Frequently asked questions
Does Add Page Numbers upload or share my files?
No. Input files are read from browser memory and the output is created locally for your download. AntiUpload does not send file bytes, names, sizes, page counts, contents, passwords, or generated outputs through analytics or advertising requests.
Can I start the numbering from a page other than the first?
Yes. Set the page range to skip covers or front matter, and choose the first number that should appear on the first included page.
Can I customize the number format (e.g. Roman numerals)?
Yes. Choose Arabic or upper/lower Roman numerals, a padded Bates sequence, or a custom template that can include the current page, total pages, and filename.
Is it safe to add page numbers to confidential PDFs here?
Yes. The numbering happens entirely in your browser and your PDF is never uploaded to a server, so even sensitive contracts or records never leave your device. After the page loads you can even work offline and it still runs.
Can I add page numbers to multiple PDFs at once?
Yes, you can batch-process several PDFs in one go, and each file is numbered right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so numbering a stack of documents stays fast and private.
Can I add Bates numbering for legal documents?
Yes. You can choose a Bates-style number format for legal or discovery files, and because it all runs in your browser the documents are never uploaded anywhere.
