Free pdf privacy tool
Put a password on a PDF.
Password protection is useful for a quick extra layer, but it is not a substitute for encrypted messaging or access control. The workspace can encrypt or decrypt PDFs and will warn you when a file needs a password.
No watermark· No account needed for tools
This tool
Open PDF security
Add a simple password layer to a document you need to send.
Private by default
Browser tools run on your device. Heavy conversion and OCR only use the service when you choose them.
01 / HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. No setup.
Add a simple password layer to a document you need to send.
Open the workspace
Add the PDF as a project.
Choose Protect PDF
Set the password and run the operation.
Share the password separately
Never send the password in the same message as the file.
Private where it matters
Browser-based edits and conversions keep the file on your device. Server features are used only when you choose them.
A clean result
No watermarks, no forced sign-up and no lock-in. Download the PDF and keep working wherever you like.
One workspace
Edit, sign, scan, convert, merge and organise without jumping between ten different websites.
02 / QUESTIONS
Good to know.
What encryption is used?+
The workspace uses standard PDF encryption. For high-security requirements, use a dedicated document security platform.
Can I remove a password?+
Yes, with the Unlock tool if you know the current password.
Does password protection stop screenshots?+
No. A password controls opening the PDF, not what a recipient can do after opening it.
