Encryption That Does Not Require Trusting a Server

Uploading a confidential document to a website in order to protect it defeats the purpose. ModiFyX encrypts it in your browser, so nothing is ever transmitted.

Real AES-256 EncryptionGenuine PDF encryption written by qpdf — not a viewer flag anyone can ignore.
The Password Never LeavesEncryption happens in your browser, so neither the file nor the password is transmitted.
Permission ControlAllow or block printing, copying text and editing independently of opening.
InstantA typical document is encrypted in well under a second.
Opens AnywhereStandard PDF encryption, so Acrobat, Preview and every browser reader accept it.
Nothing StoredClose the tab and no trace of the document or the password remains.
