Add page numbers at the bottom center
Bottom-center is the classic, neutral place for a page number — it is what most books, reports and printed documents use because it reads naturally and never collides with margins or binding. This page is pre-set to drop the number at the bottom center of every page, and you can still choose the format (a plain "1", "Page 1", or "1 of 10" with the total) and the number to start counting from. The numbering is added on top of your existing content as real text, so it stays crisp at any zoom and prints cleanly. It applies across the whole document automatically, so you do not place each one by hand. Everything runs in your browser, which means the PDF is never uploaded to a server. It is free, needs no signup, and the numbered file comes out with no watermark, ready to print or share with consistent, professional page numbers.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I change the number format?
- Yes. Choose a plain number, "Page 1", or a "1 of 10" style that includes the total, while keeping the bottom-center position.
- Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
- Yes. Set the start value, which is useful when a document continues the numbering of an earlier file.
