Add repeating header and footer text, with page number placeholders. 100% free, no sign-up — your file never leaves this browser tab.
Header & Footer Text lets you add a header and footer to a PDF entirely inside your browser, with no software to install and no account to create. Like every tool on Techsinghge Smart Tools, it's built around adding a finishing touch to a document — text, numbers, images, or metadata, and it works the same way whether you're on a laptop, a Chromebook, or a phone.
Under the hood, Header & Footer Text takes one PDF file and header/footer text and hands back a PDF with repeating header and footer text on every page. Your file is loaded directly into this page's memory using JavaScript — nothing is transmitted to a server, which means there's no upload wait, no file-size cap tied to a paid plan, and no copy of your document left sitting on someone else's storage once you're done.
Adding a document title as a running header across a report is one of the most common reasons people reach for this tool, but it works just as well for including a confidentiality notice in the footer of every page. If you need a related step before or after this one, check the related tools further down the page — every tool on this site is designed to slot into the same drag-and-drop workflow.
No installs, no accounts — just your browser doing the work.

Click Run, then download a PDF with repeating header and footer text on every page straight to your device — it's generated locally and ready in seconds.
Insert dynamic page numbers directly into your header or footer text.
Set different text for the top and bottom of the page, or use just one.
Your one PDF file and header/footer text stays on this device the whole time — nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on a server.
Processing happens right in this browser tab, so there's no upload progress bar, no server queue, and no processing fee.
Because Header & Footer Text runs locally, teams handling sensitive paperwork — legal, HR, healthcare admin, finance — can use it without the compliance questions that come with uploading documents to a third-party server. And if you only need it for a single one-off task, it's just as useful with zero setup and nothing to remember to delete afterwards.
The same header/footer text (with dynamic page numbers) applies across the document for consistency.
