Questions and answers

How do I put a password on a PDF?

Upload the file, choose a password, repeat it and click “Add password”. You get a PDF that opens only with this password in any app.

How do I remove a password from a PDF?

Switch to “Remove password”, upload the file and enter the password. You download the same PDF, now opening without a password. If the file is only protected against printing or copying, no password is needed.

Can I open a PDF if I forgot the password?

No — we don’t guess or crack passwords. Protection can be removed only if you know the password.

Can I block printing or copying?

Yes: tick “Block printing”, “Block copying text” or “Block editing”. The file opens with the password, but PDF apps won’t allow the blocked actions.

Is the password sent anywhere?

No. The PDF is encrypted right in your browser and the password never leaves it. Word and Excel documents are first converted to PDF on our server and deleted right away — the password is added on your side.
