Frequently asked questions
Remove the password and printing or copying restrictions from a PDF you own. Text and quality are preserved and nothing is uploaded – free and private.
Can it crack a forgotten password?
No. You need the password to open the file. Restrictions-only PDFs can be unlocked without one.
Is the text preserved?
Yes. The document is decrypted, not re-rendered, so text, links and quality stay the same.
Is my password sent anywhere?
No. The PDF and password stay on your device.
