Common questions

How strong is the encryption?

AES-256 — the same standard used by banks and governments. Without the password, the document does not open.

Do you keep a copy of my password?

No. The password is used for the encryption pass and discarded. Files are never stored either — lose the password and the document stays locked.

Is password protection free?

Your first conversion is free with no account. Plans start at $5/month.
