Adding Passwords to Your PDFs

Sharing financial data, medical records, or legal drafts via email comes with risks.If your email account is compromised, those attachments are vulnerable.

The Solution: File - Level Encryption

By adding a password directly to the PDF, you ensure that even if a hacker steals the file, they cannot open it without the key.

Guide:

1.  Open the[Protect PDF](/protect) tool.

2. Upload your document. 3. Enter a strong password(mix of letters and numbers). 4. Download your locked file.

** Note **: There is no "forgot password" feature for encrypted PDFs.If you lose the password, the data is gone forever.This is a feature, not a bug!
