Frequently asked questions

How does this unlock a PDF?
You type the password that already opens the file. The tool opens it with that password on your device and saves a fresh copy without the password, which you download. The original file is not modified.
Can it recover a forgotten password?
No. It does not guess, crack or recover passwords - it only removes a password you already know. If the password is wrong, it says so and nothing is downloaded.
Is my password safe here?
The password is typed into your own browser and used there only. Nothing - not the file, not the password - is uploaded or stored anywhere.
What kinds of PDF protection work?
Standard password encryption (the usual "enter password to open" kind), including the strong AES-256 kind used by modern PDF software. Files restricted by a permissions password also open when you know the password. Files protected by certificate-based DRM or third-party rights management are not supported and fail with a clear error.
