❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this PDF password tool free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no limits, no hidden charges.
Q: Are my files uploaded to any server?
No. Encryption runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Q: What encryption does EzSeva use?
EzSeva uses AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard, 256-bit key) combined with PDF standard encryption. This is the same standard used by banks and government agencies worldwide.
Q: What is the difference between User and Owner password?
The User Password is needed to open the PDF. The Owner Password controls permissions like printing and copying — only the owner can change those restrictions.
Q: Can I password protect a government or Aadhaar PDF?
Yes. Upload any PDF, set a strong password, and download the protected version to share securely on WhatsApp, email, or USB.
Q: What if I forget the password?
EzSeva does not store passwords. If you forget the user password, the PDF cannot be opened. Always save your password in a safe place before sharing.
