Frequently asked questions
When would I need to remove a PDF's password?
You have a password-protected file you legitimately own or were given access to, and want to remove the friction of re-entering the password every time you open it.
Can this remove a password I don't know?
No — you need the correct password (either the user or owner password) to unlock the file. This tool can't bypass or crack PDF encryption.
What happens to the file's other protections, like printing restrictions?
Removing the password removes the encryption that enforced any owner-level restrictions too, since both are part of the same protection layer being decrypted.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Unlocking happens entirely in your browser — your file and password never leave your device.
