Start over

Your file is processed on the server and deleted immediately — nothing is stored.

How to use header and footer editor

  1. Choose your DOCX file. Drop the file onto the upload area or pick it from your device. The file is sent over HTTPS, processed, and deleted as soon as the result is written.
  2. Set the options. Adjust the settings shown for header and footer editor. The defaults suit most files, so you can usually leave them alone.
  3. Check and save the result. Run the tool and download the modified DOCX file. Compare it against your original before you rely on it — conversions do not always carry every detail across.

Privacy

Your file travels over HTTPS to a temporary folder, is processed, and is deleted immediately afterwards. Results are held for a few minutes behind a single-use link and then removed. Nothing is indexed, backed up or used for anything else.

Questions

What happens to my file?

It travels over HTTPS to a temporary folder, is processed, and is deleted immediately afterwards — including if the job fails. The result waits behind a single-use link that expires after 15 minutes. Nothing is indexed, backed up or used for anything else.

Will this change anything else in my file?

No. Header and Footer Editor changes only what the options above describe; the rest of the document is carried through untouched. Because the text reflows, page breaks are decided at render time by whichever program opens it. Two applications can paginate the same file differently, so page counts are not a fixed property of the document.

Do I need Microsoft Word installed?

No. The document is read directly from its underlying XML, so nothing needs to be installed and no licence is required. The result opens in Word, LibreOffice, Google Docs or Pages like any other document.

Is there a file size limit?

Uploads are capped at 32 MB. If your file is larger, split it first, or use one of the browser-side tools, which are bounded only by your device memory.

Working with DOCX

About DOCX

Word's Office Open XML format: a ZIP archive containing XML documents that describe the text, its styles and the relationships between parts. Content is stored as a flowing stream rather than fixed pages.

Because the text reflows, page breaks are decided at render time by whichever program opens it. Two applications can paginate the same file differently, so page counts are not a fixed property of the document.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing happens after choosing a file. Check the file really is DOCX — a renamed extension fails here the same way it fails in other readers.
  • The upload is refused. Files over 32 MB are rejected. Split the document first, or use one of the browser-side tools, which are limited only by your device memory.
  • The result looks different from the original. Some conversions cannot carry every feature across formats. The page says what was dropped when that happens.
