Ξεκλείδωμα PDF — frequently asked questions

Do I need to know the password to use this?+

Yes — this removes a password you already know, verified locally in your browser before anything happens. It doesn't crack, guess, or brute-force a password you don't have.

What happens if I enter the wrong password?+

You'll get a clear "that password doesn't match" message and can try again — nothing is sent anywhere in the process, so there's no lockout or attempt limit.

Is this the same as a 'PDF password remover'?+

Yes — unlocking and removing a password both mean the same thing: stripping the encryption from a PDF once you've verified you know its password.

Do you upload my files to a server?+

No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The AI tools that used to send extracted text to a server are currently disabled.

Is there a file size limit?+

There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
