What encryption is used to protect my PDF?

We use AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by banks and governments. It's the strongest encryption available for PDF files.

Can I remove a password from a PDF?

Yes. Switch to "Remove password" mode, upload the protected file, enter the current password, and download the unlocked version.

We don't store your password — it's never logged or saved. If you forget it, there's no way to recover access through our tool.

Passwords can be up to 2,000 characters long. Use a strong, unique password for best security.

Your password is never stored, logged, or transmitted beyond the encryption process. Files are deleted within 15 minutes.
