Protect PDF

Encrypt your PDF with a password to keep sensitive data confidential.

Upload your file to begin

Processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are not sent to the server.

How to use

Add password protection to a PDF before sharing.

Steps

  1. Click “Select file” and choose your PDF (or image) from your device.
  2. If the tool shows extra options, configure them before running.
  3. Click “Run tool” and wait until processing finishes.
  4. Click “Download result” to save the output.

Tips

  • If a file fails, try “Repair PDF” or “Unlock PDF” first (for damaged or password-protected PDFs).
  • For best results, use modern Chrome/Edge and keep the tab open during processing.
  • Store your password securely — without it the file can’t be opened.

For more advanced options and additional formats you can also use the original React app version.
