PDF Security

Keep your PDFs safe and under your control.

Add a password, remove one you own, redact private details for good or watermark a shared draft. Every safeguard runs in your browser, and your files are removed the moment the job is finished.

The toolkit

Protection for every situation

From locking a sensitive report to clearing a watermark, there is a tool for the job.

01

Protect with a password

Lock a PDF so only people with the password can open it. Share the key with whoever needs it.

02

Unlock a PDF

Remove a password from a file you own when you no longer need the extra step to open it.

03

Redact details

Black out names, numbers or notes for good before you send a file outside your team.

04

Add a watermark

Stamp a draft or a name across each page so a shared file is clearly marked as yours.

How it works

Three steps, start to finish

Securing a document should be simple. Here is the whole flow.

  1. 1

    Add your file

    Drag a PDF in or pick one from Google Drive or Dropbox. It loads in a moment.

  2. 2

    Pick a safeguard

    Choose to protect, unlock, redact or watermark. Set the password or mark the areas you need.

  3. 3

    Download it

    Save the secured file to your device. We delete the original once the job is done.

Why it is safe

Built to keep your work private

Security tools you can trust with sensitive files — real protection and nothing left behind.

Strong encryption

Password-protected files use industry-standard encryption, so the lock holds up where it counts.

Files are never kept

Everything moves over an encrypted link and is removed after processing. We store nothing.

Redaction that sticks

Hidden text is removed, not just covered, so private details cannot be copied back out later.

Free and in-browser

There is no app to install and no account needed. Securing a PDF costs nothing at all.
