Frequently Asked Questions
Can I decrypt a PDF without knowing the password?▼
No, you must know the correct password to decrypt a PDF. This tool removes the password protection but cannot bypass or crack the encryption. If you've forgotten your password, you'll need to try to recover it through other means.
What's the difference between user and owner password?▼
If the PDF was encrypted with both passwords, you typically need the owner passwordto remove all restrictions. The user password (open password) only allows viewing. Try both if you're not sure which one was used.
Is my PDF file safe during decryption?▼
Yes! All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF file and password are never sent to any server. This ensures maximum security and privacy.
Will the decrypted PDF have the same quality?▼
Yes, the decrypted PDF will have exactly the same content, formatting, and quality as the original. Only the password protection is removed.
