Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to enter my PDF password here?

Yes — this is exactly why KeepItLocally exists. The password and the file are processed entirely in your browser by Ghostscript WebAssembly. Neither ever leaves your device, and our security policy blocks all third-party requests. You can even go offline first.

Can this crack a password I don't know?

No. You need the correct password to open the file — this tool removes the protection so you don't have to type it every time, it doesn't bypass it.

What happens to the output file?

You get the same document with encryption removed — it opens everywhere without a password prompt.
