Adding a header and footer to your images used to mean opening an editor and doing it one file at a time. This free custom header and footer tool does it in the browser: upload your images, type the header and footer text you want, pick a color, and get back a ZIP with every image updated. You can add titles, page numbers, dates, company names, or any text you need at the top and bottom of each image. No sign-up and no desktop software.
The tool works on JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. You can process up to 50 images in one go. Each image gets the same header and footer text, so it's ideal for batches like report pages, slides, or photo sets that need a consistent label. If you want to do more in the same run, you can also resize, add a watermark, or apply a color overlay. Below we explain why headers and footers help, how to use the tool, and when it fits your workflow.
Why Add Header and Footer to Images?
Headers and footers turn a plain image into something that looks like a document or a slide. A header might say the document title or your company name; a footer often holds page numbers, dates, or a copyright line. When you share multiple images as a set, that consistency makes them easier to read and more professional.
- Identify each image or page at a glance with a title or label at the top
- Add page numbers or "Page X of Y" in the footer for printed or PDF exports
- Keep branding consistent across a batch (e.g. same header on every slide)
- No need to edit each image manually in a desktop app
A free header footer tool online lets you set the text once and apply it to many images. You choose the color so it matches your brand or stays readable on light or dark backgrounds.
How This Custom Header and Footer Tool Works
You upload one or more images, enter your header and footer text, pick a color, and click to process. The tool adds the text to the top and bottom of every image and returns a ZIP. Here's what you can do.
Header Text and Footer Text
Type whatever you want in the header and footer fields. Common uses: document title in the header, "Page 1 of 10" or a date in the footer, company name, project name, or a short copyright line. Each image in your batch gets the same text. Fields support up to 100 characters so you have room for a full line of text.
Choose Your Color
Use the color picker to set the text color for both header and footer. Black works on light backgrounds; white or a light color works on dark images. Picking one color keeps the look consistent and readable across all images.
Bulk Add Header and Footer in One Go
Select up to 50 images (JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF, 10MB each). They all get the same header and footer. That's useful for report pages, presentation slides, or any set of images that should share the same labels. One click, one ZIP.
Optional: Resize, Watermark, or Overlay
Besides adding header and footer, you can turn on resize, watermark, or color overlay in the same run. So you can add headers and footers and resize or brand in a single step. If you only want header and footer, leave those options off.
When to Use a Header and Footer on Images
Adding a header to an image and a footer to an image fits many everyday needs. A few examples:
- Reports and handouts: Put the report title in the header and "Page X of Y" or the date in the footer before converting to PDF or printing.
- Presentation slides: Add a title or logo line at the top and a page number or confidentiality notice at the bottom.
- Photo sets and galleries: Label each image with a project name or event name in the header and a copyright or date in the footer.
- Listings and catalogs: Use the header for product or listing title and the footer for reference numbers or dates.
- Training or course materials: Consistent headers and footers across all pages make the set look polished and easy to navigate.
You don't need design experience. Type your text, pick a color, upload your images, and process. The tool does the rest.
Add Header to Image and Footer to Image: Formats and Limits
Supported formats are JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. Upload a mix if you like; the same header and footer text and color apply to every image. Output format stays the same as the input. We don't keep your files after processing; you download the ZIP and we're done.
If you need to resize images before adding headers and footers, use our resize images tool first, then run them through this page. To add a watermark as well, you can enable it here or use the watermark images tool. To turn the finished set into one document, try the image to PDF converter.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep header and footer text short so it fits well on small or narrow images.
- Use a color that contrasts with your image background so the text stays readable.
- For "Page X of Y" style footers, you may need to process in batches if page numbers must be unique (this tool applies the same text to all images in one run).
- Run a test with one or two images before processing a full batch.
