Business letterhead in Word — your design, not a gallery template
Convert your business’s designed PDF letterhead into a Microsoft Word <code>.docx</code>. Your actual brand identity in the header and footer; a clean body for whoever has to type the letter.
Search for a “business letterhead template” for Word and the gallery results are immediate — a stack of layouts you can pick from and edit. They are fine when the business does not yet have a designed letterhead and just needs something on the page. They are wrong the moment a business has its own identity to put there.
Most businesses past the first year do. A designer built the mark, a stationer set the typography, and the result is a PDF that prints correctly — but does not paste into Word. A template gallery option will not bridge that gap; it just gives you a different, generic letterhead instead.
Letterhead Lab takes the designed PDF you already own and converts it into a real Word file with the artwork in the header and footer and the body left clean to type a letter in. Your PDF is read in your browser and never uploaded. Preview the result free; pay $19 only when you download.
What “business letterhead” usually means
A business letterhead in Word should carry the real mark of the business — the logo or wordmark that customers, vendors, and counsel recognise on every other document the business sends. A generic template does not do that; it carries someone else’s layout decisions.
Converting the PDF preserves the typography, the spacing, and the alignment the designer chose, and places them where Word expects a letterhead to live: the header and footer, which repeat on every page automatically. Save the result as a .dotx so the team drafts from a fresh copy each time. The Multi-page bundle adds A4, US Letter, and a continuation header for long letters.
Frequently asked questions
- Why not just use a Word business-letterhead template?
- Use one when you have no designed letterhead and want something quickly. The moment your business has its own designed letterhead in PDF form, a template is a different identity — converting the PDF keeps yours.
- Will the converted Word file open for clients and vendors?
- Yes. The output is a standard Microsoft Word .docx. Word renders headers and footers most faithfully; Google Docs and Apple Pages open the file too.
- Does the letterhead repeat correctly on a multi-page letter?
- Yes. The artwork sits in Word's header and footer, so it repeats on every page automatically. For long letters, the Multi-page bundle adds a slimmer continuation header from page two onward.
- Is the PDF uploaded to a server during conversion?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Letterhead Lab's servers never see the file; only Stripe handles your email and payment.
- What does it cost?
- A single conversion is $19 per page. The Multi-page bundle is $49 flat for up to 10 pages and includes .docx, .dotx, A4, and US Letter.
