Everything You Need to Share Securely

Simple to use for anyone on the team. Reliable enough for your most sensitive documents.

Proven Protection

Your documents are secured with the same protection standard trusted by banks and governments worldwide. Once locked, only the people you authorise can open them.

Secure External Sharing

Share confidently with clients, partners, and candidates outside your organisation. Your document stays protected no matter where it ends up or how many times it's forwarded.

No Third Parties Involved

Everything happens directly on your computer. No files are sent to any server, no account is required, and no one outside your control ever sees your documents.

Complete Audit Trail

Keep a clear record of every document you've protected — what was sent, when, and with what permissions. Useful for compliance reviews and internal accountability.

Clean, Professional Files

Documents can carry hidden information like your name, revision history, and internal notes. PDFProtect removes all of it automatically so every file you share looks exactly as intended.

You Decide What They Can Do

Allow viewing but block printing. Prevent copy-pasting. Restrict forwarding. Set it once per document and those rules stick permanently — no way around them.

Ready to Send in Under a Minute

No training needed. No IT support required. Anyone on the team can use it from day one.

01

Open & Protect

Open PDFProtect and drop in your document. Protection applies instantly — your original file is untouched and you get a ready-to-send protected copy.

02

Set Permissions

Choose what your recipient can do: view only, limited printing, no copy-paste. These rules are built into the file and stay in place permanently.

03

Send as Usual

Send the file by email, messenger, shared folder, or any other way. The recipient downloads the free PDFProtect app once and opens it — no account, no hassle.

★★★★★

Remarkably clean workflow. We tested protecting a 40-page legal brief in under three seconds — no cloud, no sign-up, no telemetry. It does exactly what it promises and nothing more, which in security software is high praise.

The Register Enterprise IT News · 2025
★★★★★

For compliance-focused teams, PDFProtect is a compelling choice. Granular permissions, metadata stripping, and a fully local encryption pipeline let you satisfy GDPR and HIPAA requirements without handing data to a third-party cloud.
