How to add a letterhead to a Word document
Fighting with Word headers and margins to place a letterhead is fiddly, and the image often jumps around when the text changes. The simplest way to add a letterhead to a Word document is to drop the .docx into PDF Verified, add your letterhead or logo image, and resize it to sit across the top of the page. Download the branded document as a sealed PDF where the letterhead stays exactly where you put it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I put my company letterhead on a Word document?
Drop the .docx into Quick Sign, add the Letterhead field, upload your letterhead image, and resize it across the top of the page. Download the branded document, no Word header editing required.
Can I resize and reposition the letterhead?
Yes. It behaves like adding a photo: drag it anywhere and pull a corner handle to resize it to fit the page.
What image format should my letterhead be?
A PNG or JPG works. A transparent PNG is best so the letterhead sits cleanly over the page without a white box.
Can I add a letterhead and sign the document at once?
Yes. In the same editor you can add the letterhead, your signature, a date and a company stamp, then download the finished file.
What PDF Verified is, and what it is not
A stamp identifies who issued a document. It is evidence rather than a formality that makes a document binding on its own, and it should only ever be made and applied for a business or an office you are authorised to act for: a mark that imitates another organisation in order to pass a document off as theirs is forgery in most places. Where a registry, a bank or a counterparty requires a particular form of seal, that requirement comes from them.
PDF Verified is a tool for preparing, signing, stamping and checking documents. It is not a law firm, a compliance service or a forensic examiner, and nothing here is legal, financial or compliance advice. Requirements differ by country, by document type and by the party asking, so check what applies to your document before you rely on it, and take advice where the document matters. You are responsible for the documents you create, sign and send, and for having the authority to do so: signing or stamping in somebody else name, or as an organisation you do not represent, is forgery whatever tool is used. To the extent the law allows, we accept no liability for how a document made with this tool is used or relied on. The full position is in our terms of service.
