Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to unlock PDFs online?
Yes. Our tool processes your PDFs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server, so your data stays completely private and secure.
Can I unlock a PDF without knowing the password?
If the PDF has a user password (required to open the file), you need to know the password. For PDFs with only owner-level restrictions (printing, copying), the tool can remove those without a password.
Will unlocking change the content of my PDF?
For owner-password PDFs (restrictions only), the content is preserved exactly. For user-password PDFs, the tool creates a high-quality visual copy without password protection.
What is the maximum file size I can unlock?
You can unlock PDF files up to 100 MB in size and up to 200 pages. Since everything runs in your browser, processing time depends on your device.
Do you store my files or passwords?
No. Neither your files nor your passwords are ever stored, transmitted, or logged. All processing happens locally in your browser and nothing leaves your device.
