How It Works

Your documents are protected with military-grade encryption, controlled entirely by you.

1

Create or Import

Create a new PDF document or import an existing file into the app. Your document is ready for encryption.

2

Local Encryption

The document is encrypted locally on your device using strong encryption algorithms before any data leaves your computer.

3

Key Generation

A unique access key is generated and stored securely. Only you and those you explicitly share the key with can access the document.

4

Secure Access

The encrypted document can only be opened inside the app and only with the correct key. Without the key, the file remains unreadable.

Security by Design

Built with privacy and security as core principles, not afterthoughts.

End-to-end encryption ensures that your PDF files are encrypted before leaving your device and decrypted only on trusted devices that have the correct key. The encryption process happens entirely on your local machine, giving you complete control over your data.

Our zero-knowledge architecture means that servers cannot read your file content and do not store encryption keys. Even if someone gains access to our servers, your documents remain protected because the keys never leave your control.

Keys controlled by you: The document creator controls who can access the file. Only key holders can open the PDF, and keys are never transmitted in plain text. Even if someone intercepts your encrypted PDF file, it remains unreadable without the key. When synced to the cloud, files stay encrypted end-to-end.
