About Protect PDF with Password

Add a password to a PDF for free so only the people you choose can open it. It's the simplest way to protect contracts, payslips, statements and anything personal before you email it or upload it somewhere. Set a password, download the encrypted file, and share the password separately. The encryption happens in your browser, so the document and its password never touch a server.
