  3. Press Unlock PDF and download the copy without a password.

Questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. This page loads the PDF tools into your browser once, and then works on your file right there on your phone or computer. The file is never sent to mwai or anyone else. Many other PDF websites upload your file to their servers; this one does not.

Can it find a password I do not know?

No. You need the password. This tool only removes it after you type it.

Is my password sent anywhere?

No. The password and the file stay in your browser on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

My PDF opens without a password but will not let me print or copy. Can this help?

Yes. Those limits are removed in the saved copy. Only do this with files you are allowed to change.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no limit on how many files you use, no watermark added and no ads.
