Add page numbers

Place the number in any of six spots, the three across the top and the three across the bottom, so it lands where your layout expects it. Then choose how it reads: a plain number, Page 1, Page 1 of N, 1 of N, or lowercase and uppercase Roman numerals. Need something specific? Add your own prefix and suffix with {n} for the current page and {N} for the total, so Page {n} of {N} prints as Page 3 of 12.

Set the start value when a file carries on from another document, so the first page can begin at 5 or 100 rather than 1. Use the From page and To page range to number only part of a file and skip a cover or back matter. Turn on leading zeros when you want a fixed width, so 1 shows as 001.

Choose any of the built-in fonts, or upload your own font to match a brand or a house style. Set the size and color so the numbers sit quietly in the margin, or make them larger and darker when they need to stand out. The number is added as real, selectable text, so it stays crisp and searchable rather than turning into a picture.

Numbering takes two taps, so nothing is written to your file by accident. Set the position and the format first, then tap Apply. The numbers appear on the pages in the preview and the panel closes. Until you do that, Save and download stays greyed out, because there is nothing new to save yet.

Once the numbers are on, tap Save and download to keep the file. Not happy with it? Undo takes the numbers back off, so you can change the position or the format and apply again. Try as many times as you like. Your PDF is only written when you save it.

Switch the style to Bates numbering for discovery, court filings, and case files. It applies a fixed prefix with zero-padded, sequential numbers, such as ABC-000123, running unbroken across a file, or across a whole batch of files when you add several at once. It is the standard way to label legal documents so every page can be referenced exactly.

Add a single PDF and it opens in the editor with a live preview, so you can see the number move and restyle before you save. Add two or more and they are numbered together with the same settings, then you can download each numbered file on its own or grab them all as one ZIP. It is the quick way to paginate a stack of reports or invoices the same way in one pass.

• A page number added in the margin, in your chosen format, font, size, and color.
• Real, selectable text, so the number stays sharp and searchable.
• Every other page kept exactly as it was, at full quality.
• No change to your existing text, images, or layout.
• No upload, no watermark, and no page limit.

If a PDF opens on your device without asking for a password, it is numbered here with no extra steps. If a file needs a password just to open it, frisqoo shows a small unlock box right where you added it. Type the password and the file is unlocked on your device, then numbering carries on as normal. Your password is used in your browser and never leaves your device. A PDF that only limits printing or copying, rather than opening, opens straight away with no prompt at all.

Most online tools send your file to a server to stamp numbers on it, then make you wait for an upload and a download. This one does the work inside your browser, so there is no upload and no waiting. It is free with no watermark and no page limits, which makes it a safe, fast choice for contracts, reports, and anything confidential.

• Paginating a report or thesis before printing or sharing.
• Adding Page 1 of N to a contract so nothing goes missing.
• Bates numbering a set of legal documents for discovery.
• Numbering a stack of invoices the same way in one batch.
• Continuing numbers across chapters exported as separate files.
