Frequently Asked Questions
Can I password protect a PDF free with no sign up?
Yes. FileLumo adds an open password without an account on the standard path.
What kind of password is added?
An open (user) password so the PDF cannot be viewed without it. Keep a copy; we cannot recover it later.
Protect vs unlock vs watermark?
Protect locks opening. Unlock removes a password you know. Watermark brands pages without blocking open.
Do you store my password?
No. We don't store your files or passwords. Download to keep a copy.
Can I unlock later?
Yes — use Unlock PDF with the same password you set.
