How do I add a header and footer to a PDF for free?

Upload your PDF to PDFuck, enter your header and/or footer text, customize the font size, color, and alignment, select which pages to apply to (all, odd, or even), then click Apply. The headers and footers are added instantly in your browser.

Can I add headers and footers to specific pages only?

Yes. You can choose to apply headers and footers to all pages, odd pages only, or even pages only. This is useful for book-style formatting where odd and even pages have different header/footer content.

Can I customize the font and color of headers and footers?

Yes. You can set the font size, text color, and choose left, center, or right alignment for both headers and footers independently to match your document style.

Will headers and footers overlap existing content?

Headers and footers are placed in the page margin area. Ensure your document has sufficient margins (at least 0.5 inches at top and bottom) to avoid overlapping with existing content.

Can I add page numbers in the header or footer?

For page numbers, we recommend using our dedicated Add Page Numbers tool which offers specialized numbering formats (numeric, Roman, Page X of Y). The Header & Footer tool is designed for static text content like titles, dates, and notices.
