Add a password to your PDF so only intended recipients can open it. Open-password encryption stops unauthorized access when sharing sensitive documents.
Set a password that recipients must enter to open the PDF. The file is unreadable without it — even if intercepted in transit.
Industry-standard 256-bit encryption — the same level used by banks and government agencies for sensitive documents.
Optionally set a separate owner password to restrict printing, copying, or editing — even after the recipient opens the file.
Send the password separately from the document — via SMS, phone, or a different channel — for maximum security.
The output PDF contains only your content and the encryption layer — no BrieflyGo branding.
Password-protected PDFs open with the standard password prompt in Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, and all major readers.

Main thing to check before using the output in a real workflow.

Open the editor or save to dashboard when the file needs follow-up work.
