Secure and protect PDF documents with password protection and custom access permissions
Upload the PDF file you want to protect with a password.
Create a password and customize permissions for printing, copying, and editing.
Download your password-protected PDF file ready for secure sharing.
Ensure that only authorized individuals with the password can open and view your sensitive documents.
Set specific permissions to determine what recipients can do with your document, like printing or editing.
Control who can access your document when sharing contracts, research, or intellectual property.
Password protection adds an extra layer of security for time-sensitive documents that shouldn't be accessible indefinitely.
Password: User Password: Required to open the document. Anyone without this password cannot view the content.
Owner Password: Owner Password: Controls permissions. With our tool, we set both passwords to be the same for simplicity.
128-bit AES: 128-bit AES: Provides good security and is compatible with Acrobat Reader 7 and later versions.
256-bit AES: 256-bit AES: Offers stronger security but requires Acrobat Reader X (10) or later versions.
Controls whether the document can be printed and at what quality level.
Controls whether text and images can be selected and copied to the clipboard.
Controls document modifications, including annotations, form filling, and content changes.
We offer 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption. 128-bit is compatible with older PDF readers (Acrobat 7 and later), while 256-bit provides stronger security but requires newer readers (Acrobat X and later).
Yes, you can use our Unlock PDF tool to remove password protection from your PDF files, but you'll need to know the current pdf with a password to do so.
Our tool uses industry-standard AES encryption. The security depends on password strength and the encryption level you choose. We recommend using strong, choose a strong password with a mix of characters.
No, password protection only adds security settings to your document and doesn't alter the content, layout, or quality of your PDF in any way.
Currently, our tool processes one PDF at a time. For batch processing of multiple files, consider our API or premium solutions.
