Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know the existing password to use this tool?+

Yes, this tool removes protection from a PDF you can already open with a known password | it does not crack or bypass unknown passwords.

Is my password sent to a server to unlock the file?+

No, the entire process runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded or transmitted.

Will unlocking change the content of my PDF?+

No, only the encryption/password layer is removed | the document's content and layout stay exactly the same.
