How to use Protect PDF
- 1
Drop in your PDF.
- 2
Enter a password twice.
- 3
Download the encrypted PDF and share the password separately.
Your password stays with you
Encryption happens on your device. We never see the file or the password, which also means we can't recover it if you forget it.
Share it the smart way
Send the PDF by email and the password by a different channel, like a text message. Sending both together defeats the point.
Questions people actually ask
What encryption is used?
Standard PDF password encryption supported by Adobe Acrobat, Preview, Chrome and other common readers.
I forgot the password. Can you help?
No. We never have it. Keep an unprotected copy somewhere safe.
Do you upload or keep my files?
No. Processing happens inside your browser, so your file never reaches our servers. Close the tab and it's gone.
