How to Protect a PDF Before Sharing Online
Add a password and restriction to a PDF before sharing publicly or via email. Free browser tool.
Before sharing a PDF via email, Slack, or cloud storage, protect it with a password so only intended recipients can open it.
Open the Protect Tool
Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/protect in any browser.
Upload Your PDF
Click "Choose File" and select the PDF you're about to share.
Set a Sharing Password
Choose a password you can share separately from the file — via a different channel like SMS or a phone call.
Download and Share
Download the protected PDF and share it via email, Dropbox, or any file sharing service. Send the password through a separate channel.
Two-Channel Security
Sharing the PDF through one channel and the password through another means that even if the file is intercepted, it can't be opened without the password from the second channel.
