FAQ
Unlock PDF — frequently asked questions
Can I unlock a PDF if I forgot the password?
No. The tool removes protection only when you enter the correct current password; it is not a password cracker.
Is the password I type stored anywhere?
No. The password is used only to decrypt your file during the request and is never stored or logged.
Is my file uploaded? Is Unlock PDF safe to use?
Unlock PDF needs our processor to do the conversion, so your file travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection to a private temporary folder. It is deleted automatically when the download finishes or you leave the page, and we never read, keep or share it.
Is Unlock PDF free? Is there a file size limit?
Yes, it is free with no account, signup or watermark. Very large files can be rejected or take longer, so split or compress them first if the upload does not go through.
