Frequently asked questions

Is unlocking a PDF free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how often you use it.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Every conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. Your file is never sent to a server or stored anywhere but your device.

Can this recover a password I forgot?

No -- this removes protection from a PDF you already have the password for. It can't guess, crack, or recover a password you don't know.

Does this work on PDFs locked by other tools, not just Scanquil?

Yes -- it handles the standard PDF encryption types (RC4, AES-128, AES-256) used across essentially every PDF tool, not just password protection added by Scanquil itself.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes -- it works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or desktop, with no app to install.
