PDF Header & Footer

The PDF Header & Footer tool stamps custom text into the top and bottom margins of every page in a PDF document, supporting dynamic variables for page numbers ({page}), total page count ({pages}), and today's date ({date}). Professional documents — legal filings, technical reports, corporate policies — require consistent headers and footers for pagination, branding, and document control. The tool places text at configurable left, center, and right positions with full control over font size, color, and margin distance, all processed privately in your browser.

How to Use

Upload a PDF file, then configure up to three text positions (left, center, right) for both the header and footer areas. Use the variable tokens {page}, {pages}, and {date} to insert dynamic content. Set font size, color, and margin in points, then toggle whether to skip the cover page. Click Apply Header & Footer to generate the stamped PDF and download it immediately.
