Protect PDF

Add or remove a password you know. The work runs in this tab, on your own machine, so your files never leave your device.

Password

Nobody can recover this for you. If you forget it, the document is gone, write it down somewhere safe.

Your file never leaves this device. How that works

Questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The work happens inside this tab, on your own machine. Open your browser's network tab while you use the tool, there is no request carrying your file.

Is there a file size limit?

None set by us. Very large files are limited only by your device's memory, and we warn you before that becomes a problem.

Do I need an account?

No, and there is no daily limit either. There is nothing to sign up for.
