A thesis, internship report, tender file or long contract is much easier to read and reference when its pages are numbered. And once you merge several files, the original numbering no longer adds up — this tool stamps a fresh, continuous numbering across the whole document.
Put the number at the bottom or top of the page, on the left, center or right. Choose a style: “1”, “Page 1”, “Page 1 of 9” or “1 / 9”. You can also start from another number (useful when the document follows on from another), set the text size and leave the cover page unnumbered.
Nothing else in the document changes: text stays selectable and quality is untouched. You can number up to 50 files in one go; they are deleted from the server after 30 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I skip the cover page?
Tick “Don't number the first page (cover)”. Numbering then starts on the next page.
Can I show “Page 1 of 10”?
Yes, pick the “Page 1 of 9” style — the total is worked out automatically from the file's page count.
Can I start at a number other than 1?
Yes, enter it in “First number”, for example 25 if the document continues another one.
Will the number cover my text?
It is placed in the margin you choose. If your document has very tight margins, try another position or a smaller text size.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, the tool runs in your phone's browser just like on a computer.
