Protect PDF with Password
Lock sensitive PDFs with a password so only the right people can open them. Set permissions for printing and copying too. Your file is protected right in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server.

Permissions for people who open it
Important: Remember your password and keep it somewhere safe. If you forget it, the file cannot be opened again — we cannot recover it for you.
Privacy note: Your file and your password never leave your browser — everything runs on your phone/computer, nothing is uploaded.
How to use
- Click the box above or drag and drop your PDF into it.
- Type a strong open password and confirm it.
- Choose which permissions (printing, copying, editing) people with the password will have.
- Click Protect & Download PDF. Test the downloaded file once to make sure the password works.
Tips
- Use a long password with letters and numbers — short passwords are easy to guess.
- Send the password through a different channel than the file itself.
- Test the downloaded file on another device to confirm the password works.
- Remember: if you forget the password, the file cannot be recovered.
