Frequently asked

Do I need to know the password?
Yes. This tool removes the password from a PDF you own, not one you've forgotten.
Is my password sent to a server?
No. Unlocking runs in your browser. The password never leaves your device.
What encryption levels are supported?
AES-128, AES-256, and legacy RC4 (40 and 128 bit).
Why would I unlock a PDF?
To print a restricted PDF you own, to share without requiring password entry, or before applying new security settings.
Can I remove restrictions without the password?
No. If you don't have the password, no legitimate tool will unlock it.
