❓ FAQ

How to password protect a PDF?

Upload your PDF, set a user password (required to open) and optionally an owner password (for permissions), choose encryption level (128-bit or 256-bit AES), then click Encrypt PDF. All processing is done locally in your browser.

What's the difference between user and owner password?

User password is required to open/view the PDF. Owner password controls editing, printing, and copying permissions. You can set one or both.

How secure is the encrypted PDF?

We use AES-128 or AES-256 encryption, the same standards used by Adobe Acrobat. 256-bit AES is among the most secure PDF encryption methods. Use strong passwords (8+ characters with mixed types).
