Frequently Asked Questions
No. All processing happens 100% inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your file and any password you enter never leave your device, which makes the tool safe for confidential, legal and medical documents.
It fully removes owner-password restrictions — disabled printing, editing, copying, form-filling, annotation and extraction. For PDFs that require a password just to open (open/user password), it unlocks them when you provide the correct password.
No. This tool cannot crack, guess or bypass an unknown open password. Doing so would be technically impossible without the encryption key and would be unethical and illegal. You must know the password to open such a file.
An owner (permissions) password restricts actions like printing and editing but still lets the file open freely — these restrictions are removed instantly. An open (user) password is required just to view the document; unlocking it requires that password.
For owner-restricted PDFs, no — restrictions are stripped at the document level so all text, vectors and images keep their original quality and remain searchable. For open-password PDFs, pages are rebuilt at high resolution to remove the password, which preserves excellent visual quality.
