Letterhead PDF Designer
Design a Company Letterhead PDF You Can Reuse Forever
A letterhead is the frame around everything official your business sends. In this free online designer you build it once — logo and company name in the header, a brand-colored rule, registered details and contacts in the footer — and export a PDF you reuse for every letter after.
The letter template gives you correct margins to start from. Because elements can be locked, you can freeze the header and footer and type each new letter into the body without ever nudging the branding out of place.

Inside the editor
Built for this document
Brand color accents
Thin rules, header bands, or a footer bar in your exact brand hex color, drawn with simple shapes.
Contact footer
A small-type footer with address, phone, email, website, and registration numbers, aligned to the grid.
Lock the frame
Lock header and footer elements so writing the letter body never disturbs the branding.
Grid-true margins
Snap-to-grid and alignment guides keep the header, body area, and footer on consistent margins.
Continuation pages
Duplicate the page and strip the footer for a matching, lighter second-page design.
Step by step
Open the letter template
Start with a correctly proportioned A4 or Letter page in the creator.
Build the header
Place your logo and company name, then add a thin brand-colored rule beneath to separate it from the body.
Add the footer strip
Set contact details, website, and any registration numbers in 8–9pt type across the bottom.
Mark the writing area
Add a placeholder text block for date, recipient, salutation, and body so future letters start pre-structured.
Lock the branding
Lock the header and footer elements — the reusable frame is now tamper-proof.
Export your master
Download the PDF as your letterhead master; write individual letters by editing the body and re-exporting.
Get it right the first time
Keep the header under a quarter page
The letterhead frames the message; it is not the message. Oversized headers push real content to page two.
Footer type at 8–9pt
Contact and registration details belong in small, quiet type. If the footer competes with the body text, shrink it.
Check statutory requirements
Some jurisdictions require registered company details (number, registered office, VAT) on business letters — confirm what your entity must display.
Design the second page too
Long letters continue. A stripped-down continuation page — logo only, no footer — keeps multi-page letters looking designed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a letterhead in PDF format?
Design the header, footer, and body placeholder on the letter template in the creator above, then export. The PDF becomes your master — edit the body for each new letter and export again.
What should company letterhead include?
Logo, legal company name, address, phone, email, and website — plus registration or tax numbers where law requires them on correspondence.
Can I reuse the letterhead for every letter?
Yes. Lock the header and footer in the creator and only edit the body text, or open the exported master in the PDF editor each time you write.
A4 or US Letter for letterhead?
Match your audience: A4 nearly everywhere, US Letter for the United States and Canada. The creator offers both — design once, then duplicate the document at the second size if you correspond internationally.
Does the free export add any branding of its own?
No — the letterhead is exactly and only your design. No watermark or footer credit is ever added, which is non-negotiable for official stationery.
Can I use the letterhead PDF in Word or email?
The PDF itself is best used directly: write letters in the creator or PDF editor and send the finished file. That keeps typography and spacing identical everywhere, which is the point of letterhead.
