Questions

Can I add only a footer?

Yes. Leave the header box empty and only the footer is drawn.

Can I include the date or a file name?

Type it. The text is drawn exactly as written, so "Draft, 17 September 2026" appears as that.

What about languages other than English?

Western European accented letters work. Central European letters and scripts such as Arabic, Chinese or Hindi cannot be drawn with the built-in font, so the tool stops and names the characters instead of stamping question marks.

Is the file uploaded?

No. The whole job runs in your browser.
