Frequently asked questions
- What kind of locks can this remove?
- Both kinds. Owner-level restrictions — no-printing, no-copying, no-editing — are removed automatically from a PDF that opens without a password. If the PDF needs a password to open, enter it once and the tool saves a copy with the password removed.
- Can it open a PDF that asks for a password to view it?
- Yes, if you know the password: enter it when prompted and the tool decrypts the file and saves an unlocked copy. What it cannot do is crack or bypass a password you don't know — that password derives the encryption key, and without it the content is genuinely unreadable. Use it only on documents you are authorised to unlock.
- Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
- No. Unlocking happens entirely in your browser — your file and your password never leave your device.
