FAQ
- How do I remove a password from a PDF if I do not know it?
- You cannot. The tool removes protection only from documents you have the password for. Password guessing is not performed; this is a protection against abuse.
- The file opens, but printing and copying are blocked. Will this help?
- Yes. Such restrictions are removed without a password to open the file: leave the field empty and click “Remove password”.
- Is it free and without registration?
- Yes. No accounts, no limits on the number of files and no watermarks on the result. There is one limit: browser memory; on a regular laptop that means files up to 200-300 MB.
- Where does my file go?
- Nowhere. The page loads a processing module into the browser, and from then on it runs on your device. The file is not sent to a server; nobody sees it or stores it. You can turn off the internet after opening the page and the tool will keep working.
