Pagination Generator

Create beautiful, responsive pagination components for your website

How to Use

Enter the total number of pages, the current page, and the style you want. Then generate the component to preview the navigation and copy the HTML and CSS into your project. The preview makes it easy to compare styles before you commit to one layout.

If your site has many pages, test the first page, middle page, and last page so you can see how the previous, next, and ellipsis states behave.

Common Use Cases

Pagination is common in blog archives, search results, product listings, admin dashboards, comment sections, and table views where content is split into pages. It helps users understand where they are in a sequence and gives them a direct way to jump around without loading everything at once.

Designers and developers also use it as a reusable UI block when they want a consistent navigation pattern across multiple parts of the same site or application.

Tips and Best Practices

Keep the active page obvious, disable or dim unavailable previous and next buttons, and use ellipsis when the page list would otherwise become too long. On mobile, fewer visible page numbers usually work better than cramming in every page, and accessible anchor tags are better than clickable divs.

If your content is likely to be browsed sequentially forever, compare pagination with infinite scroll before you choose. Pagination is better when users need orientation and direct page access; infinite scroll is better when browsing is more casual.

Does this tool work on mobile devices?

Yes. The tool is fully responsive and works on any modern browser on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets. The interface adapts to your screen size automatically.

When should I use ellipsis in pagination?

Use ellipsis when there are too many pages to show comfortably at once. It keeps the layout compact while still giving users access to the first, last, and nearby pages around the current position.

Is pagination better than infinite scroll?

It depends on the content. Pagination is better when users need to jump between known pages or keep a sense of place. Infinite scroll is better for casual browsing feeds, but it can make it harder to reach a specific item again.
