Questions

How strong is the lock?

It uses 256-bit AES, the strongest lock PDF files have. Choose a password that is hard to guess.

I forgot the password. Can you open it?

No — and nobody else can either. That is the point of the lock. Keep the password safe.

Is it free?

Yes. Everyday jobs are free without an account. Pro and Elite take bigger files, more files at once and no daily limit.

What happens to my files?

Your uploaded files are deleted as soon as the job is done. On the Free plan (and without an account) the result is deleted after 5 minutes, or 2 minutes after you download it. Results are saved in My files — Pro for 1 day and Elite for 7 days. Nobody looks inside your files.

Do I need to install anything?

No. tpland works in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
