No watermarks, no file limits, no registration needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this crack or guess a password I don't know?
No. This tool only removes a password you already know, or lifts owner restrictions on a PDF you can already open. It cannot break, guess, or recover an unknown password.
What is the difference between an open password and owner restrictions?
An open (user) password is required just to view the PDF — enter it and we produce an unlocked copy. Owner restrictions limit printing, copying or editing without a password to open; those can be removed directly.
Is my PDF or password uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser using JavaScript. Neither your file nor your password ever leaves your device.
Should I only unlock PDFs I own?
Yes. Only remove protection from documents you own or have permission to modify. This tool is intended for your own password-protected files.
