Frequently asked questions
Does the password pass through a server?
Never. Encryption happens in your browser; the password never leaves your device.
What kind of protection is applied?
Standard PDF encryption that requires the password to open the file.
What if I forget the password?
The file can't be opened without it — store it safely, as we never keep it.
