Add Header / Footer

Add custom text header & footer to every page

Last updated: 2026-10-08

Add Header and Footer is a free online tool that inserts custom text into the header and footer area of every page in a PDF, supporting page-number variables so the footer text can automatically update per page (e.g. "Page {n} of {total}"). It's commonly used to add document titles, confidentiality notices, dates, or company names consistently across a multi-page report or contract. Processing happens entirely in the browser via pdf-lib, so the source document is never uploaded to a server. Header and footer text is added without altering existing page content, and the operation works regardless of document length. There is no file-size limit and no login requirement. The tool requires no software installation and works the same way on desktop and mobile browsers, producing a downloadable PDF with the new header/footer applied to every page immediately after the text is entered.
