Basic features are available for free. For unlimited content creation, custom slugs, advanced analytics, link editing/deletion, and more, you can upgrade to the Pro plan.
LOCK.PUB supports 11 content types: password-protected links, secret memos, encrypted chat rooms, anonymous polls, encrypted images, collaborative whiteboards, encrypted audio messages, anonymous Ask boards, encrypted location sharing, encrypted file sharing, and secure request links for collecting submissions. Content is stored encrypted and opened with a password.
LOCK.PUB cannot create a link without setting a password.
Nothing is stored in plain text. Chat, board and location content is encrypted in your browser before it is uploaded, so we store only the encrypted data. Other content types are encrypted on our servers with a key derived from your password and are decrypted only when someone opens them with the correct password.
When you create a chat room, all messages are encrypted using the room password as the AES encryption key. The server only stores encrypted data. Anyone with the link and password can join anonymously. Free users get 50 messages per room; Pro users get unlimited.
Create a password-protected poll with multiple options. Participant accounts and display names are not attached to votes. To make repeat voting harder, LOCK.PUB uses a keyed hash derived from the IP address, browser User-Agent, and poll ID. This is a best-effort check, not a guarantee of complete anonymity or election-grade integrity.
Free users can upload images up to 1MB and audio up to 2MB (30 seconds). Pro users can upload images up to 10MB and audio up to 20MB (5 minutes). Supported formats — Images: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP / Audio: WebM, MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG
The link is saved on the server, but it is stored encrypted and can only be opened with the correct password.
Pro users can edit and delete their links from the Dashboard. Free users need to create a new link if they want to make changes.
A link expires when its end date passes or the redirect limit is exceeded.
By setting a start and end date, you can provide the link only for a certain period. This is useful for private surveys or short-term promotions.
All users can see basic view counts. Pro users get advanced analytics including hourly access patterns, visitor locations, device/browser breakdown, and referrer tracking.
Pro includes unlimited content creation, custom slugs, advanced analytics, start/expiration time settings, redirect limits, link editing and deletion, unlimited chat messages, unlimited board ink with all colors, and ad removal.

All communication uses HTTPS and user content is stored encrypted. Chat, board and location content is encrypted in your browser before upload. Passwords are kept only as scrypt hashes, never in plain text. We do not collect unnecessary personal information and continuously apply security updates.
