About Unlock PDF
Strip restrictive owner permissions and remove password barriers from PDF files you own. Enables full printing, copying, and editing privileges without sending sensitive passwords over the internet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF password sent to your server?
Never. Decryption and restriction stripping are executed 100% locally in your browser memory. We never see or store your files or passwords.
Can this unlock PDFs with forgotten open passwords?
For user-encrypted PDFs (where a password is required to view pages), you must know the password to decrypt it. For owner-restricted PDFs (preventing printing/editing), restrictions are removed automatically.
