Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about processing files securely in your browser
How does this tool remove password protection from PDFs?
After selecting your password-protected PDF, you enter the user/owner password. The tool uses local cryptographic libraries in your browser to decrypt the PDF and generate a new, fully unlocked copy without restrictions.
Does this tool hack or crack PDF passwords?
No. This tool is designed to decrypt PDFs for which you know the password but want to remove restrictions (such as printing, copying text, or editing). You must provide the correct password to unlock the document.
Is it safe to enter my PDF password on this website?
Yes. Your password and PDF file are processed 100% locally in your web browser. Neither the file nor the password is ever sent to any server, so your credentials remain completely private.
What restrictions are removed when I unlock a PDF?
Unlocking the PDF removes the password requirement for opening the file, and strips away permission constraints, enabling you to copy text, print, edit, sign, and merge the document freely.
