About this tool

The Protect PDF tool lets you add password protection to a PDF file, helping secure sensitive or confidential information. It’s ideal for documents such as contracts, reports, invoices, and personal records. Upload your PDF, set a password, and download the protected version instantly. If you need to share a marked copy (e.g., “Draft” or “Confidential”), use PDF Watermark. If you later need to remove protection (with permission), use Unlock PDF.
