Common reasons to add a header or footer
Whatever the document, a header or footer makes it look finished and easy to track.
Letterhead-style documents
Add your company logo to the header alongside a name or tagline, styled independently from the footer.
Contracts & filings
Stamp a matter name, date or page count onto contracts and legal filings so every page is easy to trace.
Papers & theses
Meet formatting requirements that call for a running header with the author name, title or page count.
Shared documents
Add the filename and date to the footer of documents that get passed between teams, so versions never get lost.
Free PDF header & footer editor with logo support
This free online PDF header and footer tool stamps clean, consistent text and imagery onto your document without installing any software. Upload a file, turn on a header and a footer, and type independent text into the left, center and right zone of each. The header can also carry a logo or image, aligned left, center or right — when a logo shares its alignment with header text, the text automatically shifts aside so nothing overlaps. Dynamic placeholders insert the page number, total page count, today's date or the original filename automatically, so the same text works correctly across every page.
The header and footer are styled completely independently: each gets its own font size, font style, text color and margin from the edge of the page, so a bold branded header and a quiet gray footer are just as easy as matching the two. A live preview shows a real page from your document with every zone and the logo rendered exactly where they will appear. A cover page can be skipped entirely, or a header and footer can be applied to only a custom range of pages. There is no file size or page limit, and your document stays 100% protected and private throughout — it is never uploaded, stored or shared with anyone.
