What if my PDF has a password?

Files protected with a password cannot be opened by this tool. Remove the password in the program that made the file, save a copy, and try again.

Tips for a better result

Why a browser PDF tool is safer

Most tools here run inside your browser. The file is opened on your own device and the result is made there too, so it is never uploaded to our servers. That makes them safe for contracts, IDs, payslips and client files, and they keep working on slow connections because nothing large is sent. You also do not need to install software or create an account. Every tool saves a new copy, so your original file stays exactly as it was.
