Is it safe to unlock PDFs online using this tool?

Yes, completely safe! Our tool processes PDFs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device or gets uploaded to any server. All processing happens locally, ensuring 100% privacy and security.

What if I forgot my PDF password?

Unfortunately, if you don't know the password, there is no way to unlock the PDF. PDF encryption is very strong, and there's no "backdoor" to bypass it without the correct password. This tool requires the valid password to remove protection.

Will this remove all PDF restrictions?

Yes! Once unlocked, the PDF will have no password protection and all restrictions (printing, copying, editing) will be removed. You'll have full access to the document.

What is the maximum file size?

You can unlock PDF files up to 100MB in size. Larger files may take longer to process depending on your computer's capabilities, but there are no artificial limits.

Can I unlock multiple PDFs at once?

Currently, you can unlock one PDF at a time. We're working on adding batch processing in a future update. For now, simply unlock them one by one - it only takes seconds per file!

Does it work on encrypted PDFs?

Yes! This tool works on password-protected (encrypted) PDFs. However, you must know the correct password. It supports both user passwords (required to open the PDF) and owner passwords (restricts editing/printing).

Will my unlocked PDF be watermarked?

No watermarks! The unlocked PDF you download will be exactly like the original, just without password protection. We don't add any watermarks or branding.

Can I use this tool offline?

Yes! After the page loads once, you can disconnect from the internet and continue unlocking PDFs. This is possible because everything runs in your browser.
