How It Works
Add password protection to any PDF using AES-256 encryption — the industry standard used by banks and governments. The encryption process runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly, so your PDF and password never leave your device.
Choose a strong password, confirm it, and download the encrypted PDF. Recipients will need the password to open the file. The original formatting, fonts, and images are preserved exactly.
