Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about PDF unlocking and our service.
What types of PDF passwords can I remove?
Our tool can remove user passwords (required to open the PDF) and owner passwords (restrictions on printing, copying, or editing). We cannot remove passwords from PDFs that require specific software permissions or digital signatures.
Is it safe to unlock PDFs online?
Yes, our PDF unlocker uses bank-level SSL encryption and all files are automatically deleted from our servers after processing. We never store your files or share them with third parties.
What if I forgot my PDF password?
Unfortunately, if you've forgotten your PDF password, our tool cannot help recover it. PDF passwords are encrypted and cannot be brute-forced. You'll need to contact the original creator or use password recovery software.
Can I unlock multiple PDFs at once?
Currently, our tool processes one PDF at a time to ensure maximum security and processing speed. You can unlock multiple files by processing them sequentially.
What PDF formats are supported?
We support all standard PDF formats including PDF 1.0 through PDF 2.0. The tool works with both password-protected and permission-restricted PDFs created with Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office, and other PDF creation tools.
Will unlocking a PDF reduce its quality?
No, unlocking a PDF does not affect the quality or content of your file. The process only removes password protection and restrictions - all text, images, and formatting remain exactly the same.
