Questions

How do I password protect a PDF?

Choose the PDF, type your password twice and click the button. The new file asks for the password when opened.

Can you recover my password?

No. It never leaves your device, so there is nothing we can recover. Keep it somewhere safe.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no limit on how many files you use and no watermark added to your result.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs inside your browser, so your file never leaves your device. You can read the details on the privacy page.
