No. PDF encryption uses strong encryption algorithms (AES-256/RC4) and cannot be decrypted without the password. Contact the file creator if you forgot the password. This tool requires the correct password.

Yes, the decrypted PDF retains all original content (text, images, formatting, links, etc.) — only the password protection is removed. Decryption does not modify the PDF's substantive content.

You only need the PDF's open password (user password). If the PDF has an owner password but no user password, it can usually be opened and decrypted directly. Owner password is not required.

Completely secure. All processing happens locally in your browser — PDF files are never uploaded to any server. After decryption, you can download immediately, and original file data is not retained.
