How PDF Password Protect works

Sharing sensitive documents means keeping them out of the wrong hands. Gojli's PDF Password Protect tool locks your file with a password using real AES-256 encryption, entirely inside your browser.

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF to protect

    Choose the PDF file you want to lock with a password.

  2. 2

    Set a password

    Type the password you want required to open the file. Choose something strong, since it can't be recovered later.

  3. 3

    Download your protected PDF

    Gojli encrypts the file locally and gives you a password-protected PDF that only opens with the right password.

Frequently asked questions

What if I forget the password?

The password can't be recovered, so keep it somewhere safe once you set it.

Can I also restrict printing or editing?

Yes, permission controls for printing and editing are planned alongside the password option.
