Frequently Asked Questions

How do I password-protect a PDF?

Upload your PDF, enter the password you want to use, and click the protect button. The tool will encrypt your document and provide a password-protected version for download. Share the password separately with your intended recipients.

Is my password or document stored anywhere?

No. Both your PDF and your password are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server, so your document and credentials remain completely private and secure.

Can I unlock a password-protected PDF?

Yes, if you know the password, you can upload the protected PDF, enter the password, and the tool will produce an unlocked version for download. This is useful when you need to remove protection from your own documents.
