How to Remove Page Numbers in LaTeX

Sometimes you need to remove page numbers from your document—for a title page, a creative document, or specific sections.

Remove from All Pages

Set the page style to empty in your preamble:

\documentclass{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
No page numbers on any page.
\end{document}

Remove from Specific Page

Use \thispagestyle{empty} on individual pages:

\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}  % removes number from title page only

Remove from First Page Only

Common for articles with title on first page:

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}

\newpage
Content with page numbers starts here...
\end{document}

💡 Tips

  • \thispagestyle{} only affects the current page
  • \pagestyle{} affects all following pages until changed
  • Some document classes automatically remove numbers from chapter first pages
