Add page numbers to any PDF with a custom prefix, starting number, and position. No Adobe, no upload, no watermark — everything runs in your browser.
The PDF page numbering tool adds sequential page numbers to every page of a PDF. Choose the position (header or footer, left, centre, or right), font size, starting number, and whether to skip the first page for a cover page or title page. Page numbers are permanently added to the PDF file. Processing runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded to any server. Use it to number court filings, reports, proposals, and multi-page documents before submission.

Configure Page Numbers
Page numbers are added directly to your PDF pages using pdf-lib — no re-rendering, no quality loss, no server upload. Your original content is completely unchanged; the number is added as a new text layer.
Adobe Acrobat Pro is a paid subscription for features like page numbering. RapidTools does the same job for free, directly in your browser, with no software to install and no file ever uploaded to a server.
The prefix field lets you customise the format of your page numbers:
RapidPage for: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3P. for: P. 1, P. 2, P. 3Página for Spanish: Página 1, Página 2Seite for German: Seite 1, Seite 2If you need a continuous page sequence across several PDF files, use the Starting Number field. For example, if your first document has 18 pages (ending at page 18), set Starting Number to 19 for the second document. The sequence will be seamless across the full set.
