Password-protect a PDF

Protect a PDF with an open password: server-side encryption, file deleted after processing.

Add an open password (standard PDF encryption). The file is processed on our server then deleted immediately. Never send your password by email.

Your PDF

Drag a PDF here or click "Choose a file" (max 50 MB)

Remove password protection if you know the code. File is processed then deleted.

Protect your documents with a custom watermark. Ideal for copies and sensitive documents.

Upload your PDF or DOCX, add your electronic signature, and download the signed document.

Reduce your PDF file size. Files are deleted immediately after compression.

Is the password stored?

No: it is only used to encrypt the PDF during the operation; we keep neither the file nor the password.

What happens if I forget the password?

Without the password, the PDF remains inaccessible. Store it in a password manager.

Can I protect an already encrypted PDF?

No: first unlock the file with the "Unlock a PDF" tool, then apply a new password.

Does this meet bank security requirements?

Standard PDF encryption restricts access to those who know the password; for specific regulatory requirements, check your institution's policy.
