Questions
Do I need to know the password?
Yes. This tool removes protection from a document you can already unlock. It does not break into files you do not have access to.
Why would I want to remove it?
Convenience — printing, searching or archiving a document you already own becomes much easier without a prompt every time.
Is the password stored?
No. It is used once for the conversion and discarded with the file.
What happens to the files I upload?
Your original is deleted the moment the conversion finishes, whether it succeeded or not. The converted file stays available for 60 minutes so you can download it, then it is deleted automatically. You can also remove it instantly with the Delete file now button.
Do I need an account, and is there a watermark?
No account is needed for five conversions a day, and a free account removes that limit. Nothing is ever stamped on your document — there is no watermark on any tool, signed in or not.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Everything runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with no app or plugin to install.
