Browser-based header & footer editor
Open a PDF, type the text you want repeated on every page, and download the updated file. This is separate from page numbering — use it for a company name, case number, or document title in the margin.

Why Use It
Common reasons to add a header or footer
Brand every page
Add a company name or document title that repeats across the whole PDF.
Track case or reference numbers
Keep a case number, contract ID, or reference code visible on every page.
Independent of page numbers
Use this alongside — or instead of — the dedicated page numbering tool.
How It Works
Simple 3-step workflow
1. Choose your PDF
Choose the PDF file you want to edit.
2. Enter header and/or footer text
Type the text and choose left, center, or right alignment.
3. Download the updated PDF
Save the file with the new header or footer on every page.
Trust & Organization
Useful for reports, filings, and contracts
A consistent header or footer makes multi-page documents easier to identify once printed or forwarded. Pair it with page numbers or a watermark for a fully labeled document.
FAQ
PDF header & footer questions
How is this different from Add Page Numbers?
Add Page Numbers inserts an auto-incrementing number. This tool adds the same fixed text — like a title or case number — to every page instead.
Can I add both a header and a footer at once?
Yes. Fill in either field, or both, and each is applied independently with its own alignment.
Can I align the text to the left, center, or right?
Yes, the header and footer each have their own alignment setting.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. This runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded, and nothing is stored.
