Proteggi PDF

Aggiungi protezione con password e crittografia

pdfty's protect tool encrypts your PDF with a password using AES-256 โ€” the standard used by banks and government. Anyone trying to open the file in Adobe, Preview, Foxit, or browsers will be prompted for the password.

Two passwords are supported: an open password (required to view) and an owner password (required to edit/print). Set one or both. Useful for sensitive contracts, financial reports, medical records, ID copies.

We never store your password โ€” it's used to encrypt and immediately discarded. Files are deleted within 1 hour. We use pikepdf which is built on the audited QPDF library.
