Protect PDF.

Protect a PDF with an opening password and AES-256 encryption. Create a protected copy while keeping your original.

Processed on FolioKeep your original file

A password for your paperwork.

Require a password to open your PDF. Your original stays unchanged.

This sends the PDF and password to Folio for processing in memory. Neither is saved by the application. Use at least 8 characters; keep a copy of the password. Maximum 10 MB, 100 pages.

SET IT UP FIRST

A little more privacy.

Choose your file, enter an opening password, and confirm it before downloading a protected copy.

Your password stays in this tab until you request the protected download.

Your edits are ready to take with you.

Downloading a PDF with password protection requires a premium plan. You can keep your original file and change the password settings before downloading. You can keep editing and previewing for free.

Keep this tab open until your work is saved to your account or downloaded. Sign-in and checkout open in a new tab, so your document stays here.

A FEW HELPFUL DETAILS

Know your document.
Get a better result.

Password protection creates an encrypted copy that requires your password to open. Folio processes the PDF and password in memory on the server and does not persist them. This tool accepts unencrypted, unsigned PDFs up to 10 MB and 100 pages. Keep your original and a separate record of the password.

Can Folio recover a forgotten password?

No password is stored by this application. Keep the password and an original unencrypted copy somewhere you can access.

Does this stop copying after opening the PDF?

The password controls opening the file. Someone with the password can access its contents; this tool is not digital rights management.

Can I protect a digitally signed PDF?

Use an unsigned original. Rewriting a signed file can invalidate its digital signature, so this tool does not process signed PDFs.
