Frequently Asked Questions

What restrictions can be removed from PDFs?

SwiftPDFLab can remove password protection, printing restrictions, editing restrictions, copying restrictions, and all other security limitations from PDF files.

Do I need the password to remove PDF restrictions?

Is removing PDF restrictions legal?

You should only remove restrictions from PDFs you own or have permission to modify. SwiftPDFLab is designed for legitimate use cases like unlocking your own documents.

Is the process completely private?

Yes, completely private. All processing happens directly in your browser. Your PDF files and passwords never leave your device or get uploaded to any server.
