Frequently asked questions
What kinds of locks can this remove?
It removes owner/permission restrictions (no-copy, no-print) while keeping text intact. If the PDF needs a password just to open, enter that password and we rebuild an unlocked copy.
Do I need the password?
Only if the PDF requires one to open. Restriction-only PDFs unlock without any password.
Is it legal to unlock a PDF?
Only unlock files you own or are authorised to use. This tool is meant for your own documents.
Are my files safe?
Yes. Unlocking runs in your browser and your PDF and password never leave your device.
