For many businesses, a letterhead is something you type letters on every day — and that usually means Microsoft Word. Microsoft offers free letterhead templates through Microsoft Create that open directly in Word, so your logo, colors and contact details sit in the header and footer while you write normally.
What you get:
- Free letterhead templates for businesses, schools and personal use
- Templates that open directly in Word with editable headers and footers
- Easy logo and color changes
- Consistent letters, memos and documents across your team
- Printing on office printers or export to PDF
- AI help from Microsoft Designer and Copilot, depending on your plan
This is the most practical option for everyday correspondence, because staff can reuse the letterhead as a Word template without any design tool.
You can use the templates with free Word for the web using a Microsoft account. The desktop Word app and extra features come with a Microsoft 365 subscription, such as Personal or Family, which many businesses already have.
Word isn’t a design tool, so the template choice is smaller and designs are simpler than Canva’s or Design.com’s, and brand matching is manual. For Office users who need a practical, typeable letterhead, it’s the most convenient choice.
