Questions
Can you unlock a PDF without the password?
No. You need the password to remove it.
What about files that only block printing or copying?
Leave the password field empty. Those restrictions are removed if the file can be opened without a password.
Is Convert Magician really free?
Yes. All tools are free to use without an account. The site is funded by advertising, which is why you may see ads around the tools.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing happens in your browser. The only thing downloaded from our server is the tool itself; your document is never sent anywhere.
