Add Page Numbers to Your PDF — Fast, Free & Private

Need to add page numbers to a PDF before sending a report, thesis, or contract? iSharePDF does it directly in your browser — no file ever leaves your device.

→ Try it free — no sign-up

Whether you are finalising a 50-page business proposal or paginating a scanned document for a client, adding page numbers by hand in Word or Acrobat is tedious — and cloud-based tools force you to upload sensitive files to unknown servers. iSharePDF takes a different approach: the entire operation runs inside your browser using local JavaScript, so your PDF stays on your machine at all times. Up to 5 tasks per day are free, with no account required.

Why process your PDF locally — and why it matters

How to add page numbers to a PDF in 4 steps

  1. Open the tool. Go to iSharePDF → Page Numbers. No account needed to start.
  2. Select your PDF. Click "Choose file" or drag and drop your document. It loads instantly — nothing is uploaded.
  3. Configure the numbering. Choose position (bottom centre, bottom right, top right…), starting number, font size, and whether to skip the first page (useful for cover pages).
  4. Apply and preview. Click "Add page numbers". A live preview lets you check the result on any page before downloading.
  5. Download your numbered PDF. Save the file to your device. The result is a standard PDF fully compatible with Adobe Reader, Preview, and any PDF viewer.
