1. Secure Connection
Your PDF is uploaded to our servers over a secure SSL (HTTPS) connection, ensuring your data is encrypted in transit.
2. Password Authorization
We do not crack passwords. You must provide the correct, current password to prove you have the right to access the document. We never save or log your password.
3. Automatic File Deletion
Once your PDF is unlocked, both the original and the unlocked versions are permanently deleted from our servers after one hour. Your files are your own.
The Power of an Unrestricted Document
Unlocking a PDF is about more than just opening it. It's about regaining the freedom to use your document's content however you need to.
-
Freedom to Edit and Annotate: Once unlocked, you can easily use other tools to add comments, highlight text, or even convert the PDF to an editable format like Word.
-
Ability to Print and Copy: Remove restrictions that prevent you from printing a hard copy or copying important text for use in other applications.
-
Seamless Archiving: Store a password-free version of your important documents for easy long-term access without needing to remember old passwords.
Solve Common PDF Restriction Problems
Our PDF unlocker is the one-click fix for these frustrating access issues.
The Problem: The "Print" Button is Greyed Out
You've received a report or an e-ticket, but the owner has set a permissions password that prevents you from printing it.
The Solution: Remove Printing Restrictions
Our tool removes the permissions password, instantly enabling the print function so you can get a hard copy.
The Problem: You Can't Copy Text from a PDF
You need to quote a sentence from a research paper or copy an address from a document, but the copy-paste function is disabled.
The Solution: Enable Content Copying
Unlocking the PDF removes content restrictions, allowing you to freely select and copy text and images for your work.
The Problem: You Forgot the Password to Your Own File
You protected an old archive or personal document with a password that you no longer remember, locking you out of your own file.
The Legal Solution: Use the Known Password
While we cannot break encryption, if you remember the password, you can use our tool to save a new, permanently unlocked version for future access.
The Problem: You Can't Combine a Locked PDF
You're trying to merge several PDFs into a single report, but one of the files is password-protected and cannot be edited or combined.
The Solution: Unlock Before You Edit
Unlock the restricted PDF first. Once the password is removed, you can easily use it with any other PDF tool, like our PDF Merger.
