Letterhead Generator

What Is a Letterhead?

A letterhead is the branded header and footer that appears on a company's official documents: letters, proposals, invoices, quotations, and notices. It carries the identity of the business, typically the logo, company name, tagline, address, phone number, email, and website. A consistent letterhead makes every document look intentional and gives recipients the contact details they need without digging through the body of the letter.

This generator builds a clean, print ready letterhead from your details and brand colors. The preview updates as you type, so you can see exactly what the printed page will look like before committing to it.

What Belongs on a Letterhead

• Logo: usually placed top left or centered, sized so it does not dominate the page.
• Company name: in the largest type on the page, ideally in the brand's primary color.
• Tagline: optional, but a short one-liner helps recipients place the business.
• Contact details: address, phone, email, and website, often tucked into the footer to keep the header clean.
• Accent elements: a colored band or rule that ties the page to the brand palette.

Everything below the header is left blank on purpose. The body area is where you type or paste the letter content, and keeping it empty makes the template reusable for any document.

Eight Letterhead Styles to Choose From

The generator includes eight layout styles, all driven by the same company details and brand colors. Switch the style selector and the preview updates instantly.

• Classic Band: a colored band across the top, logo and company name in the header, and contact details split across the footer.
• Modern Split: a two tone header with the brand block on one side and the address and contact details on the other, finished with an accent stripe.
• Minimal Line: centered typography with a short accent rule and no heavy color blocks. Good for consultants, studios, and personal correspondence.
• Executive Centered: logo and company name centered above a double rule, with the address and contact details centered underneath.
• Sidebar Accent: a vertical color bar down the left edge, with the header and footer aligned to the text column.
• Bold Banner: a full width colored banner carrying the company name and logo, followed by a thin accent stripe.
• Footer Strip: a clean white header with a colored footer strip that holds the address and contact details.
• Framed: a double border frame around the page with centered branding, inspired by traditional stationery.

Design Tips for a Professional Look

• Stick to two colors: one strong primary color for the name and rules, and one secondary color for the accent band. More colors than that starts to look busy.
• Leave whitespace: a header that fills every pixel feels cramped. Generous padding around the logo and name reads as premium.
• Keep the tagline small: letter spacing on uppercase text makes short taglines look deliberate.
• Use a light footer: contact details in small, gray text stay available without competing with the letter body.
• Test print before you commit: colors that look right on screen can print differently. Check a sample page, especially if you use a dark primary color.

Printing and Saving as PDF

The Print Letterhead button opens your browser's print dialog with a print optimized version of the template: the background turns white, margins tighten, and the page fills an A4 or Letter sheet. From that dialog you can either print directly to a printer or choose "Save as PDF" to get a digital letterhead you can reuse. Most browsers also let you add a header or footer, which you should leave off since the letterhead already includes the contact block.

If you prefer to keep the template on file, use Download HTML. The exported file is self contained: the styles, colors, and embedded logo are all included, and it opens in any browser without an internet connection.

Where a Letterhead Matters

Any document that leaves your business benefits from a letterhead. Common uses include formal correspondence, job offers and contracts, quotations and estimates, notices to clients, and printed invoices. Pair this template with a matching Invoice Generator or Email Signature Generator so all of your outgoing documents share one identity.

Privacy

Your company details and logo never leave the browser. The preview, the print output, and the downloaded file are all generated locally with HTML and CSS, and nothing is uploaded or stored. That also means you can safely use the letterhead generator with client names, confidential addresses, or unreleased branding.
