Frequently Asked Questions

Is it secure?

Yes! All processing happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server.

Can I remove the password later?

Yes, if you know the password, you can use a PDF Unlock tool (or simply "Print to PDF" in some browsers) to remove it.

What if I forget the password?

Unfortunately, PDF encryption is strong. If you lose the password, the file cannot be recovered easily.
