✨ Why Use Our PDF Lock Tool?

Protecting sensitive PDFs with a password is essential for privacy and compliance. Unlike online tools that upload your document to a server, Toolslove's PDF Lock works entirely in your browser. Your file stays on your device – no third‑party servers, no tracking. You can set a user password (required to open) and an owner password (to restrict printing/copying). All encryption is done using the industry‑standard pdf‑lib library.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔑 What is the difference between user and owner password?

User password is required to open the PDF. Owner password restricts editing, printing, and copying. If you leave owner password blank, it will be set same as user password.

🔒 Is my PDF sent to any server?

No. All encryption is done locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your document remains completely private.

📂 Can I lock large PDFs?

We recommend files up to 10MB for smooth performance. Larger files may take longer due to client‑side processing limits.
