Questions
Can it crack a password I don’t know?
No. You need the password to open the file. It removes restrictions only from PDFs you’re allowed to open.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your browser, and the page is blocked from sending data anywhere. You can check by turning off your internet connection: it keeps working.
