No, and we want to be plain about that: this is not a password cracker. It decrypts a file using the password you supply and saves an unprotected copy. If you don't know the current password, the tool cannot open the file, and no guessing or brute-forcing is attempted.
No. You upload a copy and download a new, unlocked version. The file on your device keeps its password protection until you choose to replace it, so nothing is lost if you change your mind.
The file and password travel over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and the password is used only in memory to decrypt the document. Passwords are never stored or logged. Universal PDF is verified clean by Google Safe Browsing, and files transfer over encrypted (TLS) connections.
Universal PDF requires a Pro subscription. One subscription unlocks every tool on the site, cancel anytime.
