Restrictions vs passwords
A restricted PDF opens without a password but has printing, copying or editing turned off. Those restrictions are removed without asking for a password.
If a PDF needs a password just to open, you'll be asked for it. Please only remove restrictions from documents you own or have permission to use this way.
Tip: Need the restrictions back later? Use Change Permissions.
Your files stay on your device
Most online PDF sites upload your documents to their servers. Aleynray Ai does the work inside your browser instead, on your own computer or phone.
Nothing is sent anywhere, so contracts, bank statements, IDs and medical forms stay private, and there is no waiting for uploads.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a password?
Not for PDFs that only have restrictions. PDFs that need a password to open will ask for it.
Is this legal?
Removing restrictions from your own documents, or ones you have the right to use, is fine. Respect copyright and agreements for others.
Does the content change?
No. Only the restrictions are removed.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no limit on files and no watermark.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your web browser and works on the file on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so private documents stay private.
