How it works

Your PDF is encrypted using standard PDF password encryption (RC4 128-bit). This is the same encryption used by Adobe Acrobat. Every PDF reader will require the password to open the file. All processing happens in your browser — your file and password never leave your device.

Remember your password

There is no way to recover your PDF if you forget the password. Store it safely.
