How to use Unlock PDF

  1. Drop your PDF file onto the page, or choose it from your device.
  2. Set the options you need, then press the button to start.
  3. Download the result. The whole job happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Good to know

If you know the password, this saves a copy that opens without it. It also removes printing and copying restrictions from PDFs that open normally. It cannot break into a PDF whose password you do not have.

Questions and answers

Is Unlock PDF really free?

Yes. There is no charge, no account and no limit on how many files you convert.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to us or to anyone else.

Is there a file-size limit?

There is no fixed limit. Very large files depend on how much memory your device has; a computer copes with more than a phone.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes, once you have opened the tool while online. You can also save the whole site for offline use from the home page.
