About this tool

Protect PDF encrypts a document so it cannot be opened without the password you set. The password is applied on your device and is never transmitted or stored by PDFYoga.

Browser-based encryption has real limits: it supports standard PDF password encryption, and the strength of your protection depends mostly on the strength of your password. If you lose the password, the document cannot be recovered.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read from disk by the page, processed with WebAssembly and JavaScript on your device, and the result is created locally. Nothing is uploaded to a PDFYoga server.
