Frequently asked questions

Can this tool crack or guess the password if I don't know it?

No. This tool removes the protection from a PDF whose password you already know — it doesn't try to guess or crack unknown passwords.

Is it safe to enter my password here?

Yes — the whole process happens inside your browser; the password is never sent to any server.

Is the original protected PDF deleted?

No, the original password-protected file stays as it was; a new unprotected copy is created, which you can save separately.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens inside your own browser — the file never leaves your computer or passes through any external server. You can confirm this by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded: the tool keeps working normally.

Do I need to create an account or pay anything?

No. PDFsy doesn't ask for sign-up, an account or payment — just open the page and use the tool.

Is PDFsy an alternative to iLovePDF?

Yes. PDFsy offers PDF tools equivalent to iLovePDF's — merge, convert, compress, protect and much more — available in 25 languages, with no usage limits, no need to create an account, and 100% local processing in your browser, without uploading any file to any server.
