Adding a header to a PDF gives it a professional look and makes it easy to identify documents in a stack. You can add company names, document titles, dates, or any custom text to the top of every page — for free in your browser.
Go to pdfeditor.onl/header-footer. No account or installation required.
Upload your PDF. It is processed locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Enter your header text in the left, center, or right header zones. You can use smart tokens like {page} for the current page number, {date} for today's date, or {title} for the document title. Set font size and margins.
