Frequently Asked Questions
Can I unlock a PDF if I don't know the password?▼
You must know the password if the document is strongly encrypted with an open password. For restriction-only passwords (e.g. printing/copying locks), the tool can often unlock them instantly without a password.
Is decrypting PDFs safe on this site?▼
Absolutely. The decryption is performed entirely in your browser memory. Your password and PDF are never sent over the network, ensuring complete confidentiality.
