When to add headers and footers to a PDF
Headers and footers carry the context a document needs: the document name at the top of every page, or a page label, company name, or date at the bottom.
Stamping them in the PDF means the text shows identically in every viewer and survives printing, unlike viewer-based overlays.
Why add headers and footers in your browser
The stamping runs on your device with no upload and no account, keeping the document private and the process instant.
Free in the browser on any device. Offline on iPhone, PDF Shrink includes the same stamping tools.
FAQ
Can I add just a footer?
Yes. Fill in only the footer field and leave the header blank, or the other way around.
Where is the text placed?
Centered along the top or bottom edge of every page.
Is the original file changed?
No. The text is drawn onto each page of a new copy.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
