Questions

How do I remove a password from a PDF?

Choose the PDF, type its password, and press Unlock PDF. You download a copy that opens without a password.

Can it unlock a PDF without the password?

If the file opens without a password but blocks printing or copying, yes — those restrictions are removed. If it needs a password to open, you must know it; this tool does not guess passwords.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. There is no account, no sign-up and no limit on how many files you process.
