Add Footers - Free Online Browser Tool

Add customized bottom footers on all pages.

A footer carries the information that belongs at the bottom of every page — confidentiality notices, document references, dates, revision numbers. This tool adds one to every page in the document with full control over spacing, size and alignment.

This add footers utility runs completely inside your web browser. Your document is opened locally and processed on your own device using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded to any server. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many documents you can handle.

  • 100% client-side - files never leave your device
  • Instant processing, no upload wait
  • Works on desktop, tablet and mobile
  • Free forever, no account required

How to Use the Add Footers Tool

Four steps, and the whole thing runs locally on your own device.

  1. Load your PDF

    Drop in the document to footer.

  2. Enter the footer text

    Type the notice or reference — "Confidential", a document ID, a version and date, or a page number.

  3. Position it at the bottom

    Set the distance from the bottom edge, the size and whether the text is left, centre or right aligned.

  4. Apply across all pages

    The footer is stamped on every page and the file downloads ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space should I leave from the bottom edge?

Around 12–18 mm on A4 or Letter. Leave enough for the margin to survive trimming and binding without pushing the text too far in.

Can I have different footers on different pages?

Yes, if you apply footers to a page range at a time. That is also how you leave a cover page without a footer.

Should I combine a footer and a page number?

Yes — it is the standard layout. Run this tool for the footer text and Add Page Numbers for the number, positioning each in a different corner.

Will the footer overlap existing page content?

It will if the page already has content low down. Check the margin against a real page before applying to the whole document.

Can the footer be italic or a different colour?

Yes, the styling options cover the usual variations. Match your document’s existing typographic style so the footer looks native.
