Frequently asked questions
- What kind of locks can this remove?
- It removes owner-level restrictions such as no-printing, no-copying and no-editing permissions from a PDF that opens without a password.
- Can it open a PDF that asks for a password to view it?
- No. If a PDF needs a password just to open, that password is required to decrypt it, and this tool cannot bypass it. 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 never leaves your device.
