Questions

Do my files get uploaded?

No. Protect PDF runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device. Close the tab and they're gone.

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no daily limits and no watermark on your files.

How strong is the encryption?

FileFleet uses 256-bit AES, the strongest standard PDF encryption. Keep the password somewhere safe: nobody, including FileFleet, can recover it.
