Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the password to unlock the PDF?
Yes. You must provide the correct open password. This tool cannot bypass or crack unknown passwords — it simply removes protection from files you already have access to.
What is the difference between Unlock PDF and Protect PDF?
Unlock PDF removes the open password so the file can be accessed without a password. Protect PDF adds a new password to restrict access. Use both together to change a PDF password.
Does unlocking affect PDF quality or content?
No. Removing password protection is a metadata change only. All text, images, formatting, and page layout remain completely unchanged.
Is my document kept private?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your PDF is never sent to any server, and the password you enter is never transmitted anywhere.
