Frequently asked questions
Can this remove a password I don't know?
No — this removes protection from PDFs you already have the password for, or that only restrict printing/editing without an open password. It can't bypass a password you don't know; that would defeat the purpose of PDF encryption.
Is Unlock PDF free to use?
Yes — Unlock PDF is free to use. It runs on our servers, so the Free plan includes a daily allowance; Premium removes the limits and raises the file-size cap.
Are my files uploaded or stored anywhere?
Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed, and automatically deleted from our servers shortly after — typically within an hour. We never read, share or keep your documents.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
Nothing to install — everything happens online. You'll need a free account so we can queue your job and keep your result private to you.
How do I use Unlock PDF?
Open the tool, add your file, adjust any options, then press “Unlock PDF”. Your result is ready to download in seconds.
