Adding page numbers turns a loose stack of pages into a navigable document — essential for printed reports, legal exhibits and any file people will reference by page. You control the position, format (including "Page X of Y") and starting number so covers can be skipped.
Numbering happens in your browser with no upload. Finalise the page order first so the numbers match. For details, see our page-numbers guide.
