Frequently Asked Questions
Can this tool crack a password I don't know?
No. You must know the password — the tool simply uses it to open the file and save an unlocked copy. It cannot break or guess passwords.
Will the unlocked PDF be identical to the original?
Visually yes, but pages are re-rendered during unlocking, so text in the output is no longer selectable or searchable. It looks the same but behaves like a scanned copy.
Is my password or file sent anywhere?
No. Both the password and the PDF are processed locally in your browser and never transmitted to any server.
