Frequently asked questions
- Can this crack a password I don't know?
- No, and that's by design. You must already be able to open the file — the tool simply saves an unencrypted copy so you don't re-enter the password each time.
- What kind of password does it remove?
- The “open” password on PDFs you can legitimately access — meant for files like statements you receive regularly.
- Is it legal to remove a PDF password?
- It's fine for documents you own or are authorised to access. Don't use it on files you don't have rights to.
- Is my password sent to a server?
- No. The password is used locally in your browser to decrypt the file; neither the password nor the document is uploaded.
