How to use Add Page Numbers

  1. Open your PDF

    Choose a file up to 100 MB; its page count appears once it loads.

  2. Choose the style

    Pick a corner or centre position, a plain number, “Page 1” or “1 of 20”, and the font size.

  3. Set the start

    Begin at any number and optionally skip a cover page.

  4. Download

    Save the numbered PDF straight to your device.

Why use PDFQuick for this

Real text, not an image

Numbers are drawn as selectable PDF text in Helvetica, so they stay crisp at any zoom.

Flexible numbering

Start at 1, at 5, or wherever your chapter begins, and skip the cover if you need to.

Print ready

Sensible margins keep numbers clear of the trim edge on standard paper sizes.

Private by design

Numbering happens in your browser — the file is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Can I skip the cover page?

Yes. Tick “Skip the first page” and numbering starts on page two.

Can I use Roman numerals?

Not yet — the current styles are 1, Page 1 and 1 of N.

Will numbers cover existing content?

They sit in the page margin, but if your document already has footers close to the edge, try the top positions.

Can I remove them later?

Not from the numbered copy, so keep your original file.
