Why Use PDFBro to Add Page Numbers to PDF
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customize where the page numbers appear on the PDF?
Yes. PDFBro's PDF Page Numbers tool lets you position numbers at the top (header) or bottom (footer) of each page, aligned left, center, or right. You can also choose the starting page number (e.g., start at page 3 if you have a cover page), customize font size and color, and select the number format — standard numbers (1, 2, 3) or Roman numerals (i, ii, iii).
Can I set a custom starting page number?
Yes. Set any starting number — useful when your PDF is part of a larger document or you have unnumbered cover pages. For example, if your first 2 pages are a cover and table of contents, start numbering from page 3 with the value '1'. The tool applies the sequence automatically to all subsequent pages.
Does the tool add page numbers to all pages in the PDF?
Yes. PDFBro adds page numbers to every page by default. Need to skip pages? Use our Split PDF tool to separate cover pages, number the main document, then merge them back — all free tools work together in your browser.
Do I need to install software to add page numbers to a PDF?
No. PDFBro runs entirely in your web browser — no downloads, no installations, no Adobe Acrobat subscription ($22.99/month). Upload your PDF, configure numbering, and download. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, and mobile browsers.
