Why Use Password Protect PDF?
Bank-Grade AES-256 Encryption
Your documents are protected with the same encryption standard used by governments and financial institutions. This level of security would take billions of years to crack with current technology.
Granular Permission Control
Decide exactly what recipients can do with your document. Allow viewing only, permit printing but block copying, or grant full access. You control the permission level for each document.
Universal Compatibility
Password-protected PDFs work in every PDF reader - Adobe Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Firefox, mobile apps. Recipients just need the password, no special software required.
Confidential Sharing Made Easy
Share sensitive contracts, financial reports, medical records, legal documents, and personal files with confidence. Only people with the password can access your content.
Common Use Cases
Protect sensitive documents across every industry
Confidential Business Documents
Protect contracts, proposals, financial reports, and board presentations. Control who can print or copy sensitive business information before sharing.
Legal & Compliance Documents
Secure legal contracts, NDAs, compliance reports, and court documents. Password protection helps meet confidentiality requirements and regulatory standards.
Medical & Personal Records
Protect health records, insurance documents, and personal files. Essential for HIPAA compliance when sharing medical information electronically.
Financial Information
Secure tax returns, bank statements, investment reports, and financial plans. Ensure only authorized recipients can access sensitive financial data.
How It Works
Upload Your PDF
Drag and drop the PDF document you want to protect. Any PDF file is supported, including multi-page documents and files with images.
Set Password & Permissions
Enter a strong password and choose what recipients can do with the document - printing, copying text, or editing. Our strength indicator helps you create secure passwords.
Download Protected PDF
Get your encrypted PDF ready to share. Recipients will be prompted for the password before they can open and view the document.
Tips for Best Results
Create Strong Passwords
Use at least 10 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Avoid dictionary words and personal information. Our strength indicator helps you create secure passwords.
Share Password Separately
Never include the password in the same email as the PDF. Share the password via a different channel - phone call, text message, or separate email for better security.
Keep an Unprotected Backup
Always keep an unprotected copy of the original document. If you forget the password, there's no way to recover it - not even by us.
Match Permissions to Purpose
Think about what recipients need to do. Allow printing for documents they'll sign, block copying for proprietary content, and disable editing for final documents.
