Best for numbering PDF pages
Use Page Numbers for reports, contracts, packets, manuals, and school documents that need clear page references.
Files are uploaded to our server, processed in memory, and automatically deleted after your download is ready. We never store, index, or share your documents.
About Page Numbers
Pagivo PDF adds clean, professional page numbers to your document in a single click. Choose a preset template such as Classic, Legal, Pill, Badge, or Minimal, then adjust the format, placement, start number, first numbered page, font size, and color. This makes long documents, reports, legal filings, and multi-chapter PDFs easier to navigate and reference. The tool processes each page server-side and the output PDF is indistinguishable from a document numbered in a desktop editor.
Page Numbers details
Number placement
Numbers are added at the bottom center of every page using the current page and total page count format, such as 3 / 12.
Quality after numbering
Page numbers are drawn onto the PDF while keeping the original content readable and searchable.
Limits and privacy
PDF uploads can be up to 700 MB and 300 pages. Files are processed server-side and removed after the numbered PDF is ready.
Common page-number problems
If numbering overlaps existing footer content, crop or adjust the original PDF first; this simple tool uses one consistent placement.

Frequently asked questions
Where exactly are the page numbers placed?
You can place page numbers at the top or bottom, aligned left, center, or right.
What format are the page numbers?
