This tool removes the encryption and restrictions from a PDF document whose password you know, or to which you are entitled. The operation runs in your browser, without the file being sent to a server.
No, Vellum is not a password-cracking tool. It removes the protection from a PDF whose password you already know, or to which you are legitimately entitled. Without that password, no operation is possible.
Upload the file: if an opening password is required, enter it, then download the version without protection. If the PDF had no opening password but only restrictions on printing, copying or editing, those are removed automatically. The whole process runs in your browser, in a few seconds.
No, processing happens locally on your device, without the document being transmitted to a server. Vellum is free and keeps no copy of your files.
