How to Password Protect a PDF Without Uploading It

Protect a PDF locally in your browser with AES-256 protection.

Open Protect PDF →

How to do it

Choose an unencrypted PDF, enter and confirm a password, process it locally, then download the protected copy.

Why use local processing?

For supported tasks, your document stays on your device instead of being sent to a Caspenda document-processing server.

Before you finish

Open the exported PDF in another viewer and confirm that it asks for the password.
