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.
