Letterhead Lab
For Design agencies

Letterhead to Word for design agencies

You designed the letterhead. The client wants it in Word. Convert your PDF into an editable Microsoft Word .docx that holds your typography exactly — and hand the client a file they can use without touching the design.

Why design agencies use Letterhead Lab

Your typography survives

Word cannot reproduce a designed letterhead from fonts and text frames. Letterhead Lab keeps your artwork as an image in the header and footer, so the kerning, weights, and spacing you set stay exactly as delivered.

Stop rebuilding letterheads in Word

The request — “can we get this in Word too?” — usually means an hour of rebuilding the design badly. Convert the PDF instead and the Word file matches the PDF.

A deliverable, not a compromise

Hand the client a real .docx alongside the print PDF. They type letters; the identity holds. No “please don’t move the logo” caveat in the handoff email.

A branded link for every client

The Studio plan gives you letterheadlab.com/c/your-studio — a converter under your name that clients use directly, so the conversion is part of your service, not a tool you mention.

Templates the client cannot break

Deliver a .dotx and the client opens a fresh copy each time. The master letterhead they bought from you cannot be saved over.

A4, US Letter, and multi-page

International clients, multi-page letters, second-sheet designs — the Multi-page bundle covers the variants a full identity system actually ships with.

What design agencies use it for

  • Answering 'can we get it in Word?'. The question every letterhead project ends with — answered with a real file instead of a workaround.
  • Shipping the Word file with the brand package. Add the .docx next to the logo files and the print-ready PDF in the final handoff.
  • Converting letterheads across a client roster. Studios servicing many accounts convert each client's letterhead as part of onboarding or a rebrand.
  • Delivering second-sheet and continuation designs. Multi-page identity systems converted so the client's long letters look right too.
  • Making conversion part of the service. With a branded client link, the client never sees a third-party tool — it reads as the studio's deliverable.

Where this fits in an agency’s workflow

Almost every letterhead project ends with the same client question: can we also get this in Word? The honest answer has always been awkward.

Rebuilding a designed letterhead inside Word means substitute fonts, floating text boxes, and a result that drifts the first time the client edits it — and it puts the studio’s name on a file that does not look like the studio’s work.

Letterhead Lab removes the awkwardness. Run the print-ready PDF through the converter and you get a Word .docx with the artwork locked into the header and footer. The typography is yours, untouched, because it is an image — not something Word is trying to recreate.

For studios that do this regularly, the Studio plan adds a branded converter at letterheadlab.com/c/your-studio. Clients use it directly, so the Word deliverable is part of the engagement rather than a tool you point them at. Convert the letterhead once at handoff, include the .docx with the brand package, and the project closes without a loose end.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just rebuild the letterhead in Word?
Word substitutes fonts you don't have and relies on text frames that move. Converting the PDF keeps the artwork as an image, so the Word file matches your design instead of approximating it.
What does the Studio plan add for an agency?
A branded converter at letterheadlab.com/c/your-studio plus a dashboard. Clients convert under your name, so the Word deliverable reads as part of your service. It is $99 per month.
Can I convert letterheads for several clients?
Yes. Each conversion is independent. The Studio plan is built for studios converting letterheads across a client roster, with a monthly conversion quota.
Does the converted file keep my exact fonts?
Yes — because it does not use fonts. The letterhead is placed as a high-resolution image, so weights, kerning, and spacing render identically on any machine.
Can I hand the client a Word template, not just a document?
Yes. The Multi-page bundle produces a .dotx template, so the client opens a fresh copy each time and cannot overwrite the master you delivered.
