How do I put a password on a PDF?

What if I forget the password?

We cannot recover it, because it never leaves your device. Write it down 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.
