What types of PDF protection can be removed?

This tool can remove both user passwords (required to open the PDF) and owner passwords (restrictions on printing, editing, or copying). You must know the password if the PDF requires one to open.

Do I need the password?

If the PDF requires a password to open (user password), you must provide it. If the PDF only has restrictions (owner password), you can unlock it without a password.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! This tool is completely free with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or limitations. Use it as often as you need.

Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your PDF and password never leave your device and are not stored on any server.

Is it legal to unlock PDFs?

It's legal to unlock PDFs that you own or have permission to modify. This tool is intended for legitimate use cases only.

What's the maximum file size?

The tool accepts PDFs up to 100MB. Files larger than 50MB will show a warning as they may take longer to process, but will still work.
