Add header & footer to PDF

Add recurring text to the top or bottom of every page.

To add a header or footer, import the PDF, type your text (title, confidentiality notice, date), choose where it sits, then apply it across the whole document. Everything runs in your browser: the file is never uploaded to a server.

How to

  1. Import your PDF.
  2. Type the header and/or footer text.
  3. Apply: every page gets the label and the file downloads.

Features

Header, footer, or both

Add text at the top, the bottom, or both in a single pass. Each zone is independent, so you can combine a title in the header with a notice in the footer.

Left, centre, right alignment

Position your label to the left, centre, or right of the margin. You keep a tidy, consistent layout across every page of the document.

Crisp, selectable text

The label is embedded as vector text, so it stays legible at any zoom and remains searchable. It does not cover the existing content or degrade page quality.

Applied everywhere automatically

Once confirmed, the text repeats identically on every page with no manual copy-paste. Perfect for quickly standardising a long professional document.

Use cases

  • Show the document title in the header of every page.
  • Stamp a « Confidential » or « Draft » notice across the whole file.
  • Date a contract or report in the footer.
  • Add a company name or case reference to each sheet.

Your files never leave your device

Unlike most online PDF tools that upload your files to their servers, all processing happens right here, in your browser. No document is ever sent, stored or analyzed remotely: it's free, no sign-up, and private by design.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different header and footer?
Yes. The two zones are independent: type, for instance, the title at the top and a confidentiality notice at the bottom, all in one pass.
Does the text hide the page content?
No. The label sits in the top or bottom margin; it is added on top of the existing content without covering or shifting it.
Is the label added to every page?
Yes, it repeats identically on every page of the document automatically, with no manual work on your part.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser: your files never leave your device.
