Frequently asked questions
Can it crack a password I do not know?
No. This tool decrypts files with a password you already have. It does not guess or brute-force passwords.
Is my password sent anywhere?
No. Decryption is performed by QPDF compiled to WebAssembly inside your browser. There is no network request.
What about PDFs with only owner restrictions?
If the file opens without a password but blocks printing or copying, leave the password blank; the restrictions are removed.
