No. Decryption runs entirely in your browser using qpdf compiled to WebAssembly. Your document and password never leave your device — no upload, no account, no server.

Yes. This tool removes a password you already know; it does not crack or bypass protection. Enter the correct password and the protection is stripped from the copy you download.

So a document you own opens without typing the password every time, or so you can re-share it freely. Only do this for files you're allowed to unlock.

If the password doesn't match, the file can't be decrypted and you'll see an error. Double-check the password — it's case-sensitive — and try again.
