Protect PDF is a dedicated document security tool that enables you to encrypt any PDF document with industrial-strength AES password encryption. Prevent unauthorized access, viewing, copying, or printing of your confidential files.
Whether safeguarding sensitive legal contracts, employee tax records, bank statements, or medical files, adding a strong user password ensures only authorized recipients with the decryption key can view the contents.
Security and confidentiality are fundamental: all encryption occurs securely in memory using client-side WebAssembly cryptography. Your passwords and PDF contents are never transmitted across unsecured channels or retained on remote drives.
Follow these simple steps to achieve perfect results in seconds.
Upload the PDF document you want to encrypt from your device.
Type a secure password and confirm it. Keep this password safe as recipients will need it to open the file.
Click Protect PDF to apply encryption and immediately download your secure, password-locked document.
