Frequently Asked Questions

What restrictions can this tool remove?

This tool removes permission restrictions from PDFs — including editing, copying, and printing locks. These are set by the document author using an owner password. If the PDF only requires an open password (full AES encryption) to be read at all, this tool cannot decrypt it.

My PDF asks for a password to open — can this tool help?

No. If the PDF is fully AES-encrypted and requires a password just to open, a client-side tool cannot decrypt it without the correct password. This tool is designed for PDFs that open freely but have editing or copying restrictions applied.

Is my file kept private?

Yes. Everything runs inside your browser — your PDF never leaves your device and is never uploaded to any server.
