How secure is the encryption?

We use industry-standard AES-256 encryption, the same level used by banks and governments to protect sensitive data.

Can I restrict printing but allow viewing?

Yes, you can set granular permissions — allow viewing but restrict printing, copying, or editing.

We cannot recover forgotten passwords. Please store your passwords securely. This ensures your documents stay protected.
