All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers
or stored anywhere. Once processing is complete, all data is automatically cleared from your
browser's memory. We have zero access to your documents.
We use military-grade AES-256 encryption during processing. All operations are performed
client-side using secure WebAssembly code. Our service is regularly audited by independent
security firms to ensure the highest level of security.
No, absolutely not. Since all processing happens in your browser, our team has no way to
access your PDF content. We don't have servers that store or process your files, ensuring
complete privacy.
Technical Details
Our tool can remove user passwords (document open passwords) and owner passwords (that
restrict printing, editing, and copying). We support PDFs encrypted with both RC4 and AES
encryption methods, covering most PDF versions from 1.1 to 2.0.
Our free service supports PDF files up to 100MB in size. This limit ensures optimal
performance and quick processing times. For larger files, please consider our enterprise plan
which supports large files.
Our service works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We
recommend using the latest version of your browser for the best experience and security.
Usage & Process
Most PDFs are processed within seconds. The exact time depends on the file size and
complexity of the password protection. Even for large files, it rarely takes more than a
minute to complete the process.
Free users can process one PDF at a time. Premium users have access to batch processing,
allowing multiple PDFs to be processed simultaneously. There's no waiting period between
files for either plan.
You need to know the correct password to remove it from a PDF. Our tool doesn't crack or
bypass passwords - it simply removes them once you provide the correct password. This
ensures legal and ethical use of our service.
Account & Pricing
No account is needed for basic usage. You can remove passwords from up to 5 PDFs per day
without registration. Creating an account gives you access to additional features and higher
usage limits.
The free plan includes password removal for PDFs up to 100MB, processing of up to 25 files per
day, and basic support. All security features, including local processing and encryption,
are included in every plan.
Premium users get unlimited file processing, support for files up to 200MB, batch processing
capabilities, priority support, and advanced PDF features like digital signature removal and
permission modifications.
Troubleshooting
If the process fails, first verify you're using the correct password. If issues persist, try
using a different browser or clearing your browser cache. For specific error messages, check
our troubleshooting guide or contact support.
Check if your browser is blocking downloads. You might need to allow pop-ups from our site.
Also ensure you have enough storage space on your device. If the issue continues, try using
a different browser.
