How do I protect a PDF with a password?

Upload a PDF file from your device, enter and confirm a password, then process the document. When it is ready, download the protected PDF or save it to Google Drive.

Password protection for your PDF

The tool encrypts your PDF to help prevent unauthorised access. The level of protection also depends on the strength and confidentiality of the password you choose.

How to create a strong password

Use a long, unique password that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Avoid names, birthdays, common words and simple sequences.

Works on common devices and operating systems

You can use this tool on Windows, macOS, Linux, smartphones and tablets with a modern web browser.
