Frequently asked questions
Do I need the password to unlock a PDF?
If the PDF requires a password just to open it, yes — enter it so we can remove it. PDFs that only restrict actions (like printing) can often be unlocked without one.
Can I unlock a PDF I don't know the password for?
No. This tool removes protection from documents you're allowed to open — it can't guess or crack unknown passwords.
Is unlocking a PDF free?
Yes — free with no account. Daily limits apply to keep the service fast for everyone.
What happens to my file and password?
Your file is deleted from our servers automatically within 2 hours, and the password is used only to unlock it — never stored or shared.
