Frequently asked questions
Can this tool crack a PDF password I do not know?
No. It removes protection only when you supply the correct current password, the same as opening the file and re-saving it without one. Modern PDF encryption cannot be bypassed, and this tool does not attempt to.
Why remove a password from my own PDF?
Typing a password on every open gets tedious for files you use daily - bank statements, payslips, insurance documents. Once a file is stored somewhere you already trust, removing the prompt makes it searchable, previewable, and easier to work with.
Is the password I type sent anywhere?
No. Both the file and the password stay in your browser - the decryption engine runs entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored, which is exactly what you want when handling a protected document.
