FAQ
Do I need to know the password to decrypt?
Yes. The correct password is required — this tool is for unlocking your own files, not cracking passwords.
What happens if I enter the wrong password?
The tool will return an error. Make sure you enter the correct password — it is case-sensitive.
Can I remove only the owner password while keeping the open password?
No — the tool removes all passwords and restrictions at once, producing a fully unlocked PDF.
Is my password sent to a server?
No. Decryption runs entirely in your browser — neither the file nor the password leaves your device.
Can I re-encrypt the file after decrypting?
