Microsoft Office developers have long faced a significant vulnerability: VBA macros are stored as plain text, making them easy targets for unauthorized copying or tampering. Even standard password protection is often insufficient against modern cracking tools. VBA Padlock is here to change that.
We are pleased to announce the official release of VBA Padlock, a robust VBA compiler and security solution designed to transform your VBA projects into professional-grade software.
Beyond Simple Protection: True Compilation
Unlike traditional obfuscators, VBA Padlock acts as a true VBA Compiler that compiles your VBA code from Excel, Word, Access, and PowerPoint into native 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs. This process converts your source code into compiled bytecode, ensuring that your logic remains private and protected from decompilation.
The built-in VBA Padlock Studio IDE provides a professional development environment where you can write, edit, and compile your VBA scripts directly into secure DLLs. With features like syntax highlighting, project management, and one-click compilation, it streamlines your entire workflow. Discover all the features of VBA Padlock on the official website.

Key Features at a Glance
- Multi-App Support: Fully compatible with Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Access.
- Advanced Licensing: Secure your work with hardware locking and ECC Ed25519 signed license keys.
- Online Activation: Manage your users effortlessly with a built-in activation system and PHP kit (with your own dashboard).
- Seamless Integration: Use the modern editor, VBA Padlock Studio, to manage your projects and scripts with ease.
Excel VBA Compilation in Action
VBA Padlock Studio makes it easy to compile complex Excel VBA projects. The screenshot below shows a real-world example of an Excel VBA function being edited in the IDE before compilation into a protected DLL. From data cleaning routines to financial models, all your Excel VBA code can be compiled and secured.
Works with Word, Access, and PowerPoint Too
VBA Padlock is not limited to Excel. It seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Word, Access, and PowerPoint. The image below demonstrates how your existing Word VBA macros can call compiled DLL functions through a simple caller code pattern, ensuring complete protection of your business logic while maintaining full functionality.

Take Control of Your Distribution
Whether you are sharing tools internally or selling VBA-based applications to global clients, VBA Padlock provides the VBA macro protection infrastructure you need to prevent piracy and control access to your intellectual property.
