FAQ

Does this upload my PDF to a server?

No. Everything runs in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device.

Can I unlock a PDF without the password?

No. You must know the password. This tool removes the encryption after you provide the correct password — it does not crack or bypass passwords.

Does this work on all encrypted PDFs?

It works on PDFs encrypted with a user password (the kind that prompts you to type a password before opening). Some PDFs with only an owner/permissions password may open without one.

Will the unlocked PDF look the same?

Yes. All pages, fonts, images, and annotations are preserved — only the password protection is removed.

Is there a file size limit?

The practical limit depends on your browser's memory. We allow files up to 50 MB, which covers most documents.
