Your PDF stays on your device
Most online PDF tools send your file to a server. This one runs in your browser instead, so there is nothing to delete later and nothing to leak.
- Works offline. Load the page, turn off the internet, and it still works.
- No account, no watermark. The result is yours, with nothing added.
Frequently asked questions
- Can this crack a PDF whose password I do not know?
- No. It only removes protection from files whose password you have. There is no way around a strong password.
- What about PDFs that open but do not allow printing or copying?
- Those have an owner password. Add the file and leave the password empty: if it opens without one, PdfNib writes a copy without the restrictions.
- Is my file uploaded?
- No. Decryption runs in your browser, and the page works offline.
