Build a clickable PDF outline — the bookmarks sidebar in Acrobat, Preview, and other readers — without uploading your file. PDFPeach loads existing bookmarks so you can edit them, or lets you start fresh with titles and target pages.
Add entries by hand, jump to any page number, or bookmark every page in one click. Saving writes the outline you configured. Free and private — nothing is uploaded.
How to add PDF bookmarks
- Drop a PDF into the uploader.
- Add or edit bookmark titles and page numbers (or bookmark every page).
- Download the PDF with the new outline.
Why create bookmarks on PDFPeach
- Navigate long documents. Readers jump straight to chapters, exhibits, or appendices.
- Edit what is already there. Existing outlines load into the list so you can fix labels and destinations.
- Bulk page bookmarks. One action can create an entry for every page when you need a dense index.
- Stays local. PDFPeach never uploads your PDF; outline work runs in the browser.
When to use Create PDF Bookmarks
- Add a table of contents to a merged report or handbook.
- Rebuild an outline after reordering or splitting pages.
- Label exhibits in a legal or compliance packet.
- Replace a messy inherited bookmark tree with a clean list.
What bookmarks are
Bookmarks are outline entries shown in a PDF reader’s sidebar. Each entry jumps to a page when clicked. They are not the same as page thumbnails or in-page links you draw on the canvas.
Editing behavior
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Load file | Existing bookmarks appear in the list when present. |
| Edit / add / remove | You reshape the outline before export. |
| Save / download | Writes a new outline from your list and replaces any previous bookmarks. |
Tips
- Use clear, short titles that match headings in the document.
- Point each entry at the page where that section starts.
- After major page deletes or merges, rebuild bookmarks so destinations stay accurate.
