Frequently asked
Does this crack or remove a password I don't know? +
No. You have to enter the correct password, the one you already use to open the file. This removes the lock from a PDF you can already open. It can't guess, brute-force, or bypass a password you don't have.
Are my PDF and password uploaded anywhere? +
No. The file is decrypted in your browser, on your device's own processor. Neither the PDF nor the password ever leaves your computer.
What if the PDF isn't actually password-protected? +
The tool spots that and tells you right away. You won't waste time typing a password the file doesn't need.
