Frequently asked questions
Is this headers and footers tool free?
Yes — completely free with no sign-up and no watermark on the result.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The header and footer are added entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
Can I add the date automatically?
Yes — put {date} in any header or footer field and it's replaced with today's date on every page.
Can I show page numbers too?
Yes — use {page} and {total} in a field, e.g. "{page} / {total}", for "Page 3 / 12"-style numbering. If you only need page numbers, the dedicated Add Page Numbers tool is quicker.
Can I leave the header or footer blank?
Yes — leave any of the six fields empty and nothing is drawn in that spot. You can add just a footer, just a header, or both.
