Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using Password Protect & Lock PDF safely and accurately.

100% In-Browser Execution

Your financial files and passwords never leave your browser window. No cookies, no cloud servers, zero storage.

How do I password protect and encrypt a bank statement PDF for free?

Drop your PDF document into Finparses, type your desired password and confirm it, then click "Lock & Encrypt PDF". The file is instantly encrypted with military-grade AES-256 directly in your browser memory.

What encryption standard is used to protect my PDF?

Finparses applies industry-standard 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, the same cryptographic protocol trusted by international banking institutions and government agencies.

Will recipients be able to open the locked PDF in Adobe Reader and web browsers?

Yes. Any PDF reader (Adobe Acrobat, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Apple Preview, mobile viewers) will natively prompt the recipient to enter the password you established.

Is my document or password ever uploaded to a remote server?

Never. All cryptographic hashing and stream encryption occur 100% client-side inside your local browser tab via WebAssembly. Neither your PDF nor your password ever leaves your machine.
