Frequently asked questions

Does this work with a password?

It removes owner protection and restrictions (printing, copying, editing). A PDF that requires a password just to open cannot be unlocked without that password.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your own browser. Your file never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free and without watermark, ads or account.
