Frequently asked questions
Can it unlock a PDF if I forgot the password?
No. You need the correct password. This tool does not guess or crack passwords.
Will the text still be selectable?
No. The unlocked copy keeps each page as a picture, so text cannot be selected. Use PDF OCR on the result if you need selectable text.
What if my PDF is not protected?
The tool tells you it is already open, so there is nothing to remove.
Is it legal to unlock a PDF?
Only unlock files that you own or have permission to open.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs in your browser, so your file stays on your device and is never sent to a server.
