Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What can go in a header or footer?
Running text at the top or bottom of every page — a case caption, a date, a filename, a matter number. It is the right tool when the text belongs at the page edge on every page.
Can I put page numbers in the footer?
Use the Page Numbers tool for numeric labels, or Bates stamp for production identifiers. Both handle the counting for you rather than making you type a number per page.
Does Header & Footer upload my PDF to a server?
No. The file is opened, processed and saved back by code running in this browser tab — there is no upload endpoint on our servers to send it to. You can watch the Network panel in your browser's developer tools while you work and confirm nothing carrying the document leaves the page.
Is Header & Footer free?
Header & Footer is free, with no account required and no page or file-size caps imposed by the plan.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, every tool keeps working with the network disconnected, because the processing never depended on a server round-trip. AI features that use an on-device model need one download the first time; after that they run offline too.
