About PDF TOC Generator
A table of contents turns a wall of pages into something a reader can scan and jump around in, but writing one by hand is tedious and easy to get out of sync. This generator builds a table of contents for your PDF automatically, saving you the manual work.
Upload your document and the tool detects its structure to assemble a table of contents page, then returns the updated PDF. It runs in your browser, is free, and never adds a watermark or requires an account. Your file is processed solely to generate the contents listing you asked for.

What if my headings aren't detected well?
Documents with inconsistent or image-based headings may need manual review. Consistent heading styles give the best results.
Where is the table of contents placed?
The generated contents page is added to the document so readers can find it at the start, with entries pointing to the relevant pages.
