Create PDF Bookmarks: step by step

Create, modify or remove bookmarks in your PDF outline for easy navigation. Free online bookmark editor.

1. 1

   Upload your PDF

   Drop in a document and its existing outline appears as a tree — chapters with sub-sections folded underneath — with a count beside the Bookmarks heading. No outline yet? Create bookmark on page 1 starts one, anchored to whatever page you're viewing. Free-tool files are deleted within 72 hours.

   
2. 2

   Shape the tree

   Right-click any row: Create adds a child, Add sibling before and Add sibling after slot a row in beside it, Rename edits inline (a double-click works too), Update opens the title-and-page dialog, Set page number retargets without touching the name, and Delete removes it. Drag rows to reorder them, or drop one onto another to nest it. The Add menu beside the heading does the same three placements with no right-click, and the arrows there expand or fold the whole tree at once.

   Search, jump and apply

   The Page box jumps the preview anywhere in the document; the search box highlights matches on the page and the ‹ › arrows step through them — click a highlighted line and the Add dialog opens prefilled with its text and page. You can also click any line of text on the page, highlighted or not, to start a bookmark from it; the dialog's Parent bookmark box decides where the new row lands. Apply changes writes the whole tree into the file as its real outline, ready for any reader's sidebar.
