Free PDF Unlocker Tool

Absolutely! Your PDF file is completely secure. All processing happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your file is never uploaded to any server, transmitted over the internet, or stored anywhere. The entire unlock process occurs on your device, ensuring maximum privacy and security. Once you close your browser, all data is automatically cleared from memory.

No, this is not a password cracking tool. This tool only removes password protection from PDFs when you already know the correct password. It cannot crack, guess, or brute-force unknown passwords. The tool is designed for legitimate use cases where you have the password but want to remove the protection for easier access and editing. Attempting to crack passwords without authorization is illegal.

The maximum file size supported is 50MB. This limit exists because all processing happens in your browser, and larger files may cause performance issues or browser memory constraints. Most standard PDF documents are well under this limit. If you have larger files, consider splitting them into smaller sections or using a desktop application designed for handling large PDF files.

This tool works with most standard password-protected PDFs that use PDF encryption. However, some PDFs may use advanced security features, digital signatures, or certificate-based encryption that are not supported. The tool is compatible with PDFs created by most popular applications like Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, and other standard PDF creators. If your PDF uses an uncommon encryption method, the tool will display an error message.

Your original file and the unlocked version exist only in your browser's memory during the unlocking process. Once you download the unlocked PDF or close the browser tab, all file data is automatically removed from memory. Nothing is stored on our servers because the entire process happens locally on your device. We cannot access, view, or store your files at any point in the process, ensuring complete privacy.

Currently, the tool processes one PDF at a time to ensure optimal performance and maintain the highest security standards. Processing files individually allows for better error handling and ensures each file receives dedicated system resources. If you need to unlock multiple PDFs, simply process them one after another. Each unlock operation typically takes just a few seconds, making it quick even for multiple files.
