Common mistakes
- Processing confidential contracts or ID scans on a shared or public computer—use a trusted device.
- Assuming local processing means zero risk: malware, extensions, or screen capture can still expose files.
- Expecting pixel-perfect PDF layout after heavy compression—always open the output before sending.
- Uploading the same export to multiple untrusted third-party converters after using a local tool.
FAQ
Can this crack unknown passwords?
No. You must supply the correct password. We do not brute-force or bypass protection.
Are files sent to a server?
No. Decryption happens in your browser; only you see the file.
Is unlocking legal?
Only unlock documents you are authorized to access. Toolminator does not bypass DRM for piracy.
