A running header or footer is what makes a printed stack of pages traceable: which document is this, which version, who may read it. Set the text once and it lands on every page, at the top, the bottom, or both — and it never leaves your browser.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF

    Drop in the document you want stamped.

  2. 2

    Type the text

    Fill the header, the footer, or both. Use {n} and {total} where you want the page number and page count.

  3. 3

    Download

    Every page comes back carrying the text, centred at the edge you chose.

Why use this tool

Automatic numbering

{n} and {total} are substituted per page, so "Page 3 of 12" is one field, not manual work.

Header, footer or both

Leave a field empty and that edge is left untouched.

Nothing is uploaded

The stamping runs in your browser, so a confidential draft stays on your device.

Text stays text

The line is drawn as real text, so it remains selectable and searchable in the result.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add page numbers?

Put {n} in the footer — for example "Page {n} of {total}". If numbering is all you need, the dedicated Page numbers tool is simpler.

Can I remove it afterwards?

No. The text is drawn into the page content, so keep your original if you may need a clean copy.

Can I number only some pages?

Not here — the text goes on every page. Split the document first if you need a section stamped differently.

What about non-Latin text?

The built-in font covers Latin characters. Armenian or Cyrillic headers may not render, so check the result before relying on it.
