Frequently asked questions

How strong is the encryption?

RC4 128-bit — enough to require a password in any standard PDF reader, but not the strongest encryption available. Treat it as basic access control, not vault-grade security.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Encryption happens entirely in your browser — your file and password never leave your device.
