# Page Numbers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add visible page numbers to every page of your PDF. You pick the position, format, font size, and color -- the tool handles the rest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Upload your PDF file.
|
||
|
|
2. Configure the page number settings in the options panel that appears.
|
||
|
|
3. Click **Add Page Numbers** to process.
|
||
|
|
4. The numbered PDF downloads automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Position** -- Choose where page numbers appear: Bottom Center, Bottom Left, Bottom Right, Top Center, Top Left, or Top Right.
|
||
|
|
- **Format** -- Select between simple numbering (1, 2, 3...) or "page X of Y" format (1 / 5, 2 / 5...).
|
||
|
|
- **Font Size** -- Set the size of the page number text. Defaults to 12.
|
||
|
|
- **Color** -- Pick any color for the page number text using the color picker.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Six positioning options covering all corners and center positions
|
||
|
|
- Two numbering formats: simple sequential or "page X of Y"
|
||
|
|
- Customizable font size from 6 to 72 points
|
||
|
|
- Full color picker for text color
|
||
|
|
- Automatic margin handling that keeps numbers within safe areas regardless of page size
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Use Cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Preparing documents for print that need visible page references
|
||
|
|
- Adding page numbers to a merged PDF created from multiple source files
|
||
|
|
- Numbering presentation handouts before distribution
|
||
|
|
- Adding sequential numbering to legal documents or contracts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The "page X of Y" format is helpful for documents where readers need to know the total length, like proposals or reports.
|
||
|
|
- If you need different numbering styles for different sections (like Roman numerals for front matter), use the [Add Page Labels](./add-page-labels) tool instead.
