One file or hundreds. Nothing is uploaded.

Files are decrypted in your browser with WebAssembly and never leave your device. If a password cannot be worked out locally, the file alone is sent to our server to try a known-password lookup, and only the unlocked PDF comes back. No files processed yet this browser.

Questions

Is it safe to remove a password here?

Yes. The PDF is decrypted entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly whenever the password can be worked out locally. If it cannot, the file is sent to our server as a fallback so a known-password lookup can be tried there - only the unlocked PDF comes back, never the password. You need to know the password, or it must follow a standard convention; this tool does not crack genuinely unknown passwords.

Does this work for Income Tax AIS/TIS and Intimation Orders?

Yes. These use PAN in lowercase followed by date of birth in DDMMYYYY. Enter your PAN and DOB once under More options and the tool tries this automatically.

Can I unlock many PDFs at once?

Yes, drop in as many as you like. Each file gets its own password field, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to 200 MB are supported, limited by your browser's available memory since processing happens locally.

Can I add a password instead of removing one?

Yes. Switch to Add at the top, drop in unprotected PDFs, and set a password for one file or the whole batch.

Does this work offline?

Yes, once the page has loaded it keeps working without a connection, since all processing happens locally.

How do I verify nothing is uploaded?

Open DevTools (F12) and watch the Network tab before dropping a file in. For files unlocked locally you will see no request carrying their contents. A request appears only when the server-side lookup fallback is used.
