Why Unlock PDF?
It's annoying to type a password every time you open a document that you use frequently. Unlocking it removes this restriction. Also, many online tools (like editors or mergers) cannot process locked files, so you must unlock them first.
FAQ: Unlocking PDFs
Can you crack a password I forgot?
No. This is an ethical tool designed for owners of documents who want to remove restrictions. We do not use brute-force hacking to guess passwords.
Is it safe to type my password?
Yes. The decryption happens inside your browser. The password never travels over the internet to our servers.
Does it remove printing restrictions?
Yes. The resulting file is completely open, allowing printing, copying, and editing.
