FAQ

Are my files or passwords uploaded anywhere?

No. Unlocking happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your PDF and the password you type never leave your device.

Do I need to know the password?

Yes. This tool removes password protection from a file you already have access to -- it doesn't recover a forgotten password or break into a file you don't own.

Does this change my original file?

No. Your original file stays untouched; unlocking creates a new, unprotected copy.
