Lock PDF Files Instantly with a Password!

Keeping school, job, or personal stuff private is really important. It’s easy to share docs as PDFs, but you gotta make sure they don’t end up in the wrong hands. Our Lock PDF tool lets you stick a password on your files quickly, so nobody can see them unless you say so.

You don’t need to install any apps or make an account. Just use your phone or computer browser and boom, it’s done. Fast and simple.

Why Lock PDF Files?

PDFs are great because they keep things looking the same no matter where you open them. But if you don’t lock them, anyone can peek inside. Adding a password makes sure only folks you choose can look.

If you forget it, the file stays locked. So don’t forget.
