How to add page numbers in bulk
- Drop in your PDFs, or press Choose a folder.
- Choose the format and position. To skip a cover page, set "Start numbering on page" to 2.
- Press Add page numbers, then download each PDF or everything as one ZIP that keeps your folder layout.
🔒 Your PDFs are numbered by your own browser and are never uploaded to our server.
Tips
- Custom format: use
{n}for the number,{total}for the last number and{filename}for the file name. - Outside corner puts numbers on the right of odd pages and the left of even pages, which suits double-sided printing and binding.
- Bates numbers (used for legal documents) carry on from one file to the next in the order of the list. For example,
ACME000001toACME000250across 10 files. - Tick White background if the page already has something printed where the number goes.
