Add a password requirement to a PDF so only someone with the password can open it -- useful for sending sensitive documents like contracts, financial statements, or student records.

The file is uploaded only long enough to apply AES-256 encryption, then the copy on our server is deleted right away -- your document isn't retained, logged, or backed up.

Frequently asked questions

What encryption does this use?

AES-256, the same standard used by most modern password-protection tools.

What if I forget the password I set?

There's no way to recover it afterward -- keep a copy of the password somewhere safe before you protect the file.
