Make a US Letter letterhead in Word
The standard 8.5 × 11-inch letterhead, converted from your PDF into an editable Word document.
In the United States and Canada, business letters are written on US Letter paper — 8.5 by 11 inches. If your letterhead was designed as a PDF at that size, Letterhead Lab turns it into a Microsoft Word document that matches it exactly.
The conversion places the artwork from the top and bottom of your PDF into the Word header and footer, sets the page to 8.5 by 11 inches, and leaves the body blank and editable. The first line of every letter starts where you tell it to during the conversion — no guessing, no nudging text boxes.
This is the standard Letterhead Lab output and the most common one: a single-page US Letter design becomes a .docx for $39. Open it in Word, type your letter, and print or send a PDF that looks exactly like the design your studio delivered.
Why the page size matters
A letterhead built at the wrong page size prints with shifted margins and artwork that creeps toward an edge. Converting straight to a US Letter Word file avoids that — the document is 8.5 by 11 inches from the start, so what you see in the preview is what prints.
Because the letterhead lives in the Word header and footer, it repeats automatically if your letter runs to a second page, and it survives any edit to the body text. Anyone on your team can open the file and write — no fonts to install, no design to rebuild.
If you also need A4 for international mail, a true .dotx template, or continuation headers for long letters, the $79 Multi-page bundle adds all three. For a standard single-page letterhead, the $39 .docx is all you need.
Frequently asked questions
- What are the dimensions of a US Letter letterhead?
- US Letter is 8.5 by 11 inches — the standard paper size for business letters in the United States and Canada. Letterhead Lab sets the Word page to exactly that.
- How much does a US Letter .docx cost?
- $39 for a single-page letterhead. You can preview the conversion free and only pay when you download the final, unwatermarked file.
- What if I need A4 as well?
- The $79 Multi-page bundle includes both US Letter and A4 versions from one conversion, plus a .dotx template and continuation headers.
- Where does the body text start?
- Wherever you set it. During conversion you drag a guide to position the body start, so the first line of your letter clears the letterhead artwork by exactly the margin you want.
- Does the letterhead repeat on a two-page letter?
- Yes. The artwork sits in the Word header and footer, so Word repeats it on every page of a long letter automatically.
