Every change creates a separate copy.
How to use this tool
- Choose a PDF you own or are authorized to modify.
- Confirm permission and enter the password you already know.
- Create and review the reconstructed PDF, keeping the protected original.
What to check before downloading
This does not recover unknown passwords. Reconstruction produces page images and loses searchable text, editable fields and digital-signature validation.
Common questions
Does the password leave my device?
This version passes it to the local PDF processing code in your browser, not to a document-processing server. Do not include passwords in support emails.
Do I need to upload files to a server?
No. This version processes selected files in your browser. Website assets still load from the hosting service. See our privacy information and file limits.
