Unlock PDF: questions and answers

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is opened and changed by code running in your own browser tab. The page is locked so it cannot send data to any server, and nothing is kept once you close the tab.

Can you crack a password I do not know?

No. This tool only removes protection when you know the password, or when the file has no open password at all.
