Can you unlock a PDF without the password?
No. You need the password that opens it, or the owner password that lifts its restrictions.
Is Unlock PDF free?
Yes, and as often as you like. It works in your browser, so there is nothing to sign up for.
What happens to my files?
They stay on your device. The tool works in your browser, so your files are never uploaded. Only a file too large for your device, or one your browser can't read, is sent to our servers instead; it is deleted as soon as the job finishes.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in the browser on any computer, tablet or phone.
Can I use Unlock PDF from my own code?
Yes. Every tool is also an API endpoint. Send your files to POST /v1/unlock-pdf with an API key from your Account page, then download the result when the job is done.
