What is matched to your file
The file profile determines which format-specific search family and output choices can be offered.
- Office files: DOC/DOCX, XLS/XLSX and PPT/PPTX protection profiles are assessed by format and generation; open-password and editing restrictions are different cases.
- PDF files: The PDF encryption profile and the protection that blocks opening determine the available recovery path.
- ZIP, RAR and 7z archives: ZipCrypto, AES archives, RAR3/RAR5 and 7z profiles each use their supported search family.
- Private curated search data: We combine our password data with format-specific rules, word mutations, dates, separators and symbol patterns. The initial search is prepared for you.
- Optional Deep / Brute: Remember a pattern? Review Brute Force where supported. Need a broader search? Review Deep Recovery. Each option shows its scope and payment terms before you choose.
- Result matched to your privacy choice: Choose a password-only result when that is enough. For an eligible file, an unlocked-copy option may cost less; the current quote shows the available output before you select it.
