Frequently Asked Questions about PDF Password Protection

Is it safe to type my password into an online tool?

With Convertify, yes. Unlike other tools that upload your file to a server, our encryption happens locally in your browser. Your password and document never leave your device, making it 'Financial Safe'.

What encryption standard do you use?

We use 128-bit and 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is the industry's military-grade benchmark for securing sensitive information.

Can I prevent someone from printing my PDF?

Yes. You can set a 'Permissions Password' that specifically disables printing, copying text, or modifying the document structure while still allowing it to be viewed.

What if I forget the password?

Because we prioritize security and don't store your data, there is no 'recovery' option. We recommend using a password manager for your protected files.
