Common questions

Is Unlock PDF free?

Yes — Unlock PDF is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit on this tool. Heavier operations (OCR, conversion) have a generous daily quota on the free plan and are unlimited on Pro.

How do I remove pdf password?

Open Unlock PDF, drop your file, set the options, and download the result in a few seconds — processed securely, no queue and no ads.

Are my files safe?

Unlock PDF needs our conversion servers, so the file is sent over an encrypted connection, used only for your task and deleted within 24 hours. The page tools (merge, split, rotate, organize, page numbers, watermark, crop, form filling, image to PDF) run entirely in your browser instead and never upload anything.

Can it open a PDF whose password I do not know?

No. This removes a password you can supply, so you stop retyping it every time you open a file you own. It is not a password cracker and will not break into someone else's document.
