PDF tool
Simple 3-step flow
One file at a time. Enter the password that opens it, download the unlocked copy.
01
Drop the locked file from this device. Any PDF the other tools refuse with a password error qualifies.
One PDF at a time
02
Type the password that opens the file. It is used once in this tab to decrypt — never stored, never sent.
Used once · in-memory only
03
qpdf decrypts the structure in place — text stays selectable, pages keep their size. The locked original on disk is untouched.
Exact copy, not a reprint
What the workspace does
These match the tool — one password field, one unlocked download, and a clear error on a wrong password.
This removes protection from a file you can already open. It does not guess or brute-force passwords you don't have.
Wrong password fails loudly
Decryption preserves content — selectable text, page sizes, form fields. Printing to a new PDF can degrade all three.
Structure decrypted in place
Merge, split, and compress cannot open encrypted files. Unlock here first, then run the unlocked copy through whichever tool you need.

Privacy architecture
Cloud unlock tools ask you to upload a locked file — the one file you most want nobody else to hold. Fileraz decrypts it in this browser tab.
Legacy cloud tools
Uploads the full document to a remote queue.
Fileraz
0 bytes leave this machine. qpdf runs in this tab.
Legacy cloud tools
Sent to a server along with the file.
Fileraz
In-memory only. Cleared after a successful unlock.
Legacy cloud tools
You only get back what the server kept.
Fileraz
Source stays on disk. This download drops the password.
Answers
Forgotten passwords, uploads, and whether the unlocked file looks the same.
No. Without the correct password the file cannot be decrypted by anyone, including us. There is no recovery and no bypass.
No. Decryption runs in your browser with qpdf compiled to WebAssembly — the file never leaves your device.
Yes. Decryption preserves content exactly — selectable text, page sizes, and form fields all survive.
Constraints
You must know the password — no guessing or recovery.
One PDF at a time; processing uses device memory.
Some printer-restriction-only files may still carry permission flags.
