Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove the password from a PDF I don't know the password for?
No, this tool is only for documents whose password you already know — it doesn't offer password cracking.
Does removing the password happen on a server?
No, the process happens entirely in your browser; your document and password never leave your device.
Does the document content change after the password is removed?
No, only the password protection is removed; page content, text, and images stay exactly the same.
Why would I want to remove the password?
It's useful for your own document that you no longer want to prompt for a password every time it's opened.
