Secure PDF Tools

Control who opens what. Add real password protection with fine-grained permissions for printing and copying, or remove protection from files you rightfully own using the known password. Encryption and decryption both run locally — passwords never leave your device.

Secure PDF

Protect, unlock, and redact PDFs

Three tools for the sensitive side of PDF work — locking documents down, letting the right people back in, and making sure sensitive content is truly gone. All of it local: passwords, files, and redacted content never leave your device.

Protect PDF adds an open password with modern encryption, and optionally restricts printing and copying — the standard setup for contracts, invoices, and anything circulating beyond the people who should read it.

Unlock PDF is the legitimate reverse: if you have the rightful password, it removes the open password and the permission restrictions together, giving you back a fully usable file. It is honestly not a cracker — files without the correct password stay locked, as they should.

Redact PDF removes content permanently rather than hiding it. Search for a word or phrase to mark every match at once, or draw boxes by hand; marked pages are flattened so the text beneath is destroyed, not covered — the difference between a black highlight and actual redaction.
