Yes! Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. The file never leaves your device or gets uploaded to any server. Everything happens locally on your computer.
Our tool works best with common passwords, weak passwords, and those based on predictable patterns. It tries filename-based passwords, common dictionary words, dates, and simple keyboard patterns. Very complex or randomly generated passwords may not be recoverable.
Recovery time varies based on password complexity. Simple passwords are found within seconds. More complex passwords may take several minutes. The tool will show real-time progress and stop automatically if the password cannot be found within a reasonable timeframe.
If our automated methods don't work, you can try entering the password manually if you remember it. For very complex passwords or encrypted PDFs with strong protection, you might need specialized software or the original password.
Yes! The tool works on smartphones and tablets. However, processing large PDFs on mobile devices may be slower due to hardware limitations. For best performance, use a desktop or laptop computer.
