    Reports, theses, contracts and printed handouts are much easier to discuss when every page has a number. This tool stamps page numbers onto an existing PDF without touching the rest of the content.

    Choose where the number goes, how it looks (“1”, “1 of 10”, “- 1 -” or “Page 1”), the size and the number to start from. You can also leave the cover page unnumbered.

    How to use

    1. Select or drop one or more PDFs.
    2. Pick a position, a format and a size.
    3. Set the starting number and whether to skip the first page.
    4. Press Add page numbers and download the result.

    Why use Deftivo

    Looks right on turned pages

    Pages saved sideways get their number in the right place and the right way up.

    Content stays untouched

    Only the number is added. Text remains selectable and images keep their quality.

    Private

    Numbering happens in your browser, so the document is never uploaded.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I start numbering from 3?

    Enter 3 in “Start at”. The first numbered page will show 3 and the rest continue from there.

    Can the cover page have no number?

    Yes. Tick “Skip the first page”. The cover stays clean and numbering starts on page two.

    Which font is used?

    A clean standard font (Helvetica) in dark grey, so the numbers look neat on any document.
