Add Header & Footer to PDF – Free Online Tool

Step by step

Add a Header & Footer: step by step

Apply page numbers, dates or custom text labels to the top or bottom of every PDF page. Free online, no watermark.

1. 1

   Upload your PDF

   Drop in a document and the first page appears with the mark already drawn on the sheet — a fresh file starts as “Page 1” in the header. Files are deleted after 2 hours.

   
2. 2

   Customize the style

   Write the text, then tap the caret for ready-made styles — Page 1, Page I, Page 2 of 45, the file name, or a plain text label. The line under the box previews the whole run.

   

   Pick one of six slots — header or footer, left, center or right — choose Times New Roman, Helvetica or Courier at any size, and decide whether the page keeps its margins or moves the content in to make room.

   
3. 3

   Target pages and run

   More options narrows it to the pages you name — 1-10, 12-, odd, even, or lists like 2,4,6,10 — and sets the first number. Press Add header/footer and the stamped document comes back ready to download.

   

• Five ready styles

  Page 1, Page I, Page 2 of 45, the file name, or a free text label — one tap each.

• Six slots

  Header or footer, in the left, center or right — wherever the page wants it.

• Three fonts, any size

  Times New Roman, Helvetica or Courier, from 6 up to 28.

• Only the pages you pick

  1-10, 12-, odd, even or lists like 2,4,6,10 — “Start numbering from” continues a run.

• WYSIWYG preview

  The mark is drawn on the real sheet as you type, so what you see is what prints.

• Private by default

  No account, no watermark — and every file is automatically deleted after 2 hours.
