Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF or password uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is encrypted entirely in your browser and neither the file nor the password ever leaves your device, so we never see either one.
Is it free and do I need an account?
Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up. Just open the page, add your PDF, and set a password.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in any modern mobile browser — pick a PDF, set a password, and download the protected file the same way as on desktop.
What if I forget the password?
There's no recovery. Because the encryption happens locally and we never store your password, a forgotten password means the file can't be reopened — keep it somewhere safe.
What kind of encryption does it use?
It applies standard PDF password security (RC4/AES), so the protected file opens with the password in any standard PDF viewer.
How many files can I protect at once?
One PDF at a time. Load a file, protect it, then choose another to protect the next one.
