Private by design
Your inputs stay on your device and are not sent to our servers. Optional usage analytics does not receive your files or tool inputs.
How to use Unlock PDF
Create an unlocked copy using a password you already know. This does not recover or guess passwords. Files that open without a password can use an empty password field.
- Choose a PDF of up to 20 MB.
- Enter its current opening or owner password, if needed.
- Unlock and download the new copy. Keep it in a safe location.
A practical example
A password-protected statement becomes a PDF you can open without entering the password again.
Before you share the result
- Only modify documents you are entitled to change.
- The unlocked file no longer has password protection. Rewriting can invalidate digital signatures.
- Passwords stay in temporary memory and are cleared after success or cancellation; there is no password recovery.
