Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF or password uploaded?
No. The PDF is decrypted entirely in your browser on your own device — neither the file nor the password is ever uploaded.
Do I need to know the password?
Yes. This removes a password from a PDF you can already open — it is not a password cracker and can't open a file you don't have the password for.
Is it free and do I need an account?
Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up.
Does the unlocked PDF keep its text and quality?
Yes. The password is removed losslessly, so the pages, selectable text and quality are unchanged.
Why would I remove a PDF password?
So you don't have to type it every time you open the file, or so you can use it with tools that can't open protected PDFs.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, it runs in any modern mobile browser.
