Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know the password?
Yes. This tool removes protection from PDFs you can already open, so you must supply the current password.
Is this tool really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no ads and no artificial limits.
Are my files kept or shared?
No. Processing happens on our servers, then the file is deleted immediately and an automatic cleanup removes any residue. Nothing is stored or sold.
