Is Remove Password private?

Everything runs locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to StackPDF servers.

Do I need an account to use Remove Password?

No. StackPDF is free to use without signing up or creating an account.

Does Remove Password work offline?

After the page and libraries load, processing happens on your device. A connection is only needed to load the app the first time.

Which password do I need?

Either the open (user) password that opens the file, or the owner password that grants full access. You must know one of them — this tool cannot crack unknown passwords.

Will forms and bookmarks survive?

Unlocking rebuilds the PDF without the encryption dictionary. Page content and basic metadata are kept; interactive forms, bookmarks, and some annotations may be dropped.

What if the PDF is not locked?

The tool detects unprotected files and tells you no unlock is needed. Use Encrypt PDF if you want to add a password instead.

Is unlocking free with no file-size limit?

Yes. Unlimited free unlocks for files you are allowed to open — no account, no upload quota, decryption stays on your device.
