Protect PDF with Password — Free Online Encryption
Processed on our servers — auto-deleted within 1 hour, never used for anything else.
Sending a contract, invoice, or medical document by email? Add a password so only the intended recipient can open it. Upload the PDF, choose a password, and our servers apply real AES-256 encryption — the same standard banks use. The password is used once here and never stored, and your file is auto-deleted within 1 hour.
