Type in a secure password. Make sure you memorize it or store it safely!

We apply military-grade encryption. Now, nobody can view the file's contents without knowing the password.

Frequently Asked Questions

How secure is the encryption used?
We use standard AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, the same cryptographic standard banks and governments rely on to protect sensitive data.
What happens if I forget the password?
Filen blir permanent oläsbar utan den. Vi behåller inte en kopia av ditt lösenord eller ditt dokument, så det finns inget sätt för oss att återställa det åt dig – förvara det någonstans säkert.
Does password protection also stop people from printing or copying?
Setting an open password requires anyone to enter it before they can view the file at all, which covers printing and copying too, since they can't access the content without opening it first.
Kan jag ta bort lösenordet senare om jag inte längre behöver det?
Yes, use Unlock PDF and enter the password to strip it back off whenever the file no longer needs to be restricted.
Skickas mitt lösenord någonstans medan jag ställer in det?
Nej, krypteringen tillämpas helt i din webbläsare, så lösenordet du skriver lämnar aldrig din enhet.
