paperformat is a set of 15 free PDF and image tools — convert, merge, split, compress, rotate, watermark, and password-protect PDFs — that run entirely in your browser. Most tools never upload your file anywhere. Password protection uses real AES-256 encryption, the same standard Adobe Acrobat uses. No sign-up, no watermark, no file limits.
