Frequently asked questions

How secure is the PDF encryption?

The PDF is encrypted by our provider CloudConvert with the password you choose. Its strength mostly depends on that password: use a long one.

Can I remove the password later?

Yes, you can open the protected PDF with your password in any PDF reader and save it without encryption.

Is my PDF stored on your servers?

We do not keep it. Your PDF and the password are sent to CloudConvert, which deletes them after processing, within 24 hours at most.

Can I restrict printing or copying?

No. The tool adds an open password only; it does not set separate permissions for printing, copying or editing.
