Add Header & Footer to PDF

A header or footer is how a document keeps its context on every page — a report title running along the top, a company name and confidentiality notice along the bottom, or a client name repeated so a printed page never gets separated from its source file. Word processors make this trivial, but once a document is already a PDF, adding a running header or footer usually means going back to the original source file (if you still have it) or reaching for a desktop PDF editor.

This tool adds your header and footer text directly to an existing PDF, entirely in the browser. It reads the file into memory, stamps the same header and/or footer text onto every page at the position you choose, and hands you back a new PDF — no upload before you configure it, and no upload after you download the result.

Header and footer text can each be aligned left, center, or right independently, so a header title can sit centered while a footer confidentiality notice sits left-aligned, for example. Font size and color apply to both, and a live preview shows exactly how the text will sit on the page as you adjust each setting, so there's no guessing before you commit to the final file.

Because the text is drawn as real vector text — not an image overlay — it stays sharp at any zoom level, remains selectable, and adds almost nothing to the file size. The original PDF is never modified; you always get back a new file.
