How to password protect a PDF online

Choose a PDF file, then type the password you want to lock it with (and type it again to confirm). Click "Protect PDF" and a new, encrypted copy of your file downloads instantly — anyone opening it will be asked for the password first. Everything happens locally in your browser using AES-256 encryption; your file and password are never uploaded to a server, which makes this safe for contracts, IDs, and other sensitive documents.
