Authorized use only

Only remove protection from documents you own or have permission to unlock. The tool requires you to confirm this and needs the correct password.

No cracking

There is no brute-force or bypass feature. A wrong password simply fails.

Limitations

  • Requires the correct password.
  • Document properties such as title and author may not be carried over to the unlocked copy.
  • Bookmarks and form fields are not carried over (pages are rebuilt into a new file).

Privacy

Files you choose are read into your browser’s memory and processed on your device; they are not uploaded to a server. Temporary download links are released after use, and the offline cache never stores your documents. More about privacy and limits.

Frequently asked questions

I forgot the password – can this help?

No. Contact whoever created the document.

Is the password stored?
