    Output and limitations

    Encrypt a PDF with a password before sharing it.

    Keep your original file. Conversion can change metadata, forms or signatures. Results are checked before download.

    What if I lose the password?

    Keep it in a password manager. The site does not provide password recovery.

    What if processing fails?

    Check the supported formats and file limits, then try a smaller file. Keep an original copy. A clear error message will explain an unsupported input or an unavailable processing service.
