GOOD TO KNOW

A few useful details

This tool does not guess or recover passwords. Some unusual encryption schemes may be unsupported.

Editing a digitally signed PDF can invalidate its signature. Keep the signed original.

Common questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Processing happens in your browser. The site downloads its own code, fonts, and processing engines; it does not send your files or passwords to a processing service. Reset or close this tab to release files from the app.

What are the limits?

Up to 40 MB per file, 80 MB in total, and 30 input files per job. PDFs are limited to 200 pages and images to 24 megapixels. Available device memory can impose lower practical limits. Try smaller batches on a phone.

Will my original file change?

No. Each tool creates a new output for you to download. Review the preview and downloaded result before relying on it, especially for important or signed documents.
