Password-protect a PDF

Add an open password and optional copy restrictions so only people with the passphrase can view your PDF—ideal for confidential reports and contracts.

How it works

Upload an unsecured PDF to encrypt.
Enter and confirm the password readers must type to open the file.
Toggle copy restrictions if you want to limit text extraction.
Download the locked, encrypted PDF.

Important notes

✓ Store passwords safely—we cannot reset a lost password.
✓ Permission behavior varies by PDF reader and OS.
✓ Uploads are deleted right after encryption.
