No. Everything runs in your browser - your file never leaves your device. How this is verifiable
A password-protected PDF asks for the password every time it opens. If you know the password and are tired of typing it, this tool removes the encryption and gives you a PDF that opens without one.
Enter the password the PDF requires to open. The document is decrypted with it; the unlocked copy carries no password protection any more. The password you type stays entirely on your device.
Please use the tool only for your own documents or ones you are demonstrably allowed to open. It is explicitly not a cracking tool: nothing can be decrypted without the correct password, and a forgotten passphrase is not guessed or recovered. Owner-only restrictions that merely limit printing or copying without requiring an open password can, depending on the document, be lifted on your own file. The typical benefit is convenience: freeing a regularly needed record once so that each access no longer requires re-entry.

Limitations: You need to know the password - this is not a password cracker and does not recover forgotten passwords. An owner-only protection without an open password may, depending on the PDF, not be removable.
No, both stay entirely local in the browser - the key point for protected documents.
No, you need to know the password. The tool does not crack passwords.
It is decrypted with your password and saved again without protection. If the PDF only carries an owner restriction (say printing or copying locked, but no open password), just leave the password field empty - such locks can often be removed that way.
Yes, only the encryption is removed; pages and content stay the same.
