Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove a password I do not know?

No. PDF encryption is real cryptography and requires the key. Any site claiming to remove an unknown password is either guessing common passwords or misleading you. Use this only on documents you are authorised to access.

Is my password sent anywhere?

No. Decryption runs in your browser using a local PDF engine. The password never leaves the page and is discarded when you close the tab.

Will the unlocked file look identical?

The page content is rebuilt from the decrypted document, so it renders the same. Text remains extractable through the tool, and the output opens in any reader without a prompt.

Is it legal to remove a PDF password?

Removing protection from your own documents, or ones you are authorised to use, is normally fine. Circumventing protection on material you have no right to access may breach copyright or computer misuse law where you live.

100% Data Privacy

The password and the document both stay on your device. Decryption is performed by a JavaScript PDF engine inside this page — nothing is uploaded, logged or retained.
