Frequently asked questions

Does this make my PDF completely secure?

A password limits who can open the PDF, but no tool can guarantee absolute security. Use a strong password and keep it private.

Is my file uploaded to set the password?

No. The password is applied locally in your browser; the file is not sent to a server for this tool.

Can I remove a password later?

If you know the password, you can open the file; removing protection is a separate operation in the app.

Is it safe? Are my files uploaded?

These tools run locally in your browser — for supported local operations your files are not uploaded to a server. Processing the document on your own device avoids sending it to a third party.
