How to add bookmarks to a PDF online
- Choose the PDF you want to add navigation to.
- Move to a page using the navigator, type a title for it, and click Add.
- Repeat for every section you want in the table of contents — reorder or remove any entry from the list as you go.
- Click Save bookmarks to download the result.
Why use VitePDF
- Most PDF readers show bookmarks in a side panel readers can click to jump straight to a section — genuinely useful once a document runs more than a few pages.
- Full Unicode support in titles, including Greek and other non-Latin text.
- Everything happens in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Can I nest bookmarks into sub-sections?
Not in this version — it builds one flat list. Each entry links to a page; there's no parent/child hierarchy yet.
What happens to bookmarks the PDF already has?
If VitePDF detects existing bookmarks, it tells you how many upfront. Saving replaces them entirely with whatever list you've built — it doesn't merge with or add to what was already there.
Will bookmarks show up automatically when someone opens the file?
In most PDF readers, yes — the file is set to open with the bookmarks panel visible by default, though some readers/viewers may still require the reader to open that panel manually.
Is there a file size limit?
Files up to 70 MB are free — Premium removes that limit entirely.
