Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know the password to unlock the PDF?

Yes — this tool removes protection from PDFs you legitimately own and know the password to; it doesn't bypass or crack unknown passwords.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded anywhere, so nothing ever leaves your device.
