Password protect a PDF without uploading it

Lock a PDF with a password on this device, or open one when you already know the password.

Open Lock or unlock PDF

A password on a PDF stops someone who receives the file from opening it casually. It is not a substitute for keeping the file off shared drives in the first place.

UtilityAll applies the password locally. You choose it, download the locked PDF, and the password is not saved here. If you forget it, this site cannot recover it — there is no account and no copy of the file.

Unlocking only works when you already know the password. This tool does not break PDF encryption.

Steps

  1. Open Lock / unlock PDF.
  2. Drop the PDF and set a password you can remember.
  3. Download the locked file and open it once to confirm the password works.

Questions

Can you recover a PDF password I forgot?

No. The file never reaches a server, and there is no password reset.
