Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. This tool removes password protection for PDFs where you already know and own the password. It is not designed to crack unknown passwords.

What is the difference between an open password and a permissions password?

An open password prevents anyone from opening the file. A permissions password restricts actions like printing or copying while still allowing the file to be opened.

Will the unlocked PDF look the same as the original?

Yes. Removing password protection does not change any content, formatting, or images inside the PDF.

Is it safe to enter my PDF password here?

All processing happens locally in your browser. Your PDF and password are never sent to any server.
