About add headers & footers
Stamp customisable headers and footers across every page of a PDF, including page numbers via {n} and {total}. It sits in the pdf & office shelf alongside 83 other pdf & office tools, needs no account, and keeps the same behaviour whether you open it here or call it through the REST API.
It takes a file in PDF and gives back PDF. Large files stay on your machine, so size is bounded by your own memory rather than an upload limit. The work happens in your browser, so the file is never uploaded and the tool keeps working offline. The same operation is available programmatically at POST /v1/pdf/headers-footers.
Add Headers & Footers questions
Does Add Headers & Footers upload my file?
No. Add Headers & Footers runs as WebAssembly inside this browser tab: the file is read from your disk by the page, processed on your own machine, and handed straight back. It is never sent anywhere, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.
Can I run Add Headers & Footers on several files at once?
Yes. Add Headers & Footers takes one file at a time, so selecting several runs it once per file, one after another, and you get a result for each.
Do I need an account to use Add Headers & Footers?
No. Add Headers & Footers works without signing in, and that is not a trial — it is how the free tier works. An account only matters for things that need one to exist at all: larger server jobs against your quota, API keys, saved workflows and billing.
Can I run Add Headers & Footers from my own code?
Yes. Every tool on the site is reachable from the REST API with the same slug — `pdf-headers-footers` — and the same options as this page, so anything you can do here you can automate against your own files.
