Add Page Numbers stamps customisable page numbers onto a PDF, choose the position, number format, font, size, and colour, and optionally skip the first page when it's a cover.
The format options matter for different documents: a plain number is clean, 'Page X of Y' suits formal reports and contracts because it shows the total length, and 'X/Y' is a compact alternative. Positioning and font controls let the numbers blend with your document's style rather than looking bolted on.
Everything runs locally, so your PDF, which might be a confidential contract or thesis, is never uploaded, and no watermark is added. Because numbers are applied to the pages as they exist at processing time, it's best to number as the final step, after any merging, splitting, or page removal.
It's part of the ToolsMonk PDF suite, so a typical flow is to merge documents, remove unwanted pages, add page numbers, then compress, all free and in your browser.
