Password-protect a payslip
Lock your payslip before you share it, without uploading it.
A payslip shows your earnings, employer and personal details, so sharing it as a plain file is a risk. Putting a password on it first means only someone with the password can open it. This tool encrypts the file in your browser, so your payslip is never uploaded to add the password.
How to password-protect a payslip
- 1
Add your payslip
Drop in the salary slip PDF.
- 2
Set a password
Choose a strong password needed to open it.
- 3
Encrypt and share
Download the protected payslip and send the password separately.
Why lock a payslip on your device
A payslip is a compact record of your finances and identity. Encrypting it locally means the unprotected version is never uploaded to a server.
