"The fastest PDF tool I've used."
I work with PDFs every week. This is the only one that just works — no install, no watermark surprise, no 20-minute wait. In and out in under a minute.

"Saved me a stack of admin."
I had 30 vendor PDFs to get through before a deadline. Did them all in 10 minutes flat. Used to take half a day with desktop software.

"Layout came out perfect."
I ran a 60-page portfolio through it. Fonts, columns, page numbers — all intact. Opened the result on my iPad and it was pixel-perfect.

Questions about unlocking PDFs.
Don't see your question? Our team replies within 2 hours.
chat Chat with supportYes. We only unlock files you own and know the password for. We do not crack passwords — typing it confirms ownership and lets us strip the restriction cleanly.
Both kinds: user password (the one that prevents opening) and owner password (the one that blocks printing, copying or editing). Both removed at once when you provide the password.
Yes — the encryption is removed from the file structure, not bypassed. The output PDF opens with no prompt in any reader, lets you print, copy, edit and search.
No. The output PDF metadata is rewritten. Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, mobile readers and printers all treat it as a standard unlocked PDF.
We won't help. We do not crack, guess, or bypass unknown passwords. If you forgot yours, contact the file sender or your IT admin.
Negligibly — only the encryption layer is stripped. Pages, fonts, images and metadata stay identical. If anything, the file gets a few KB smaller.
Yes. Files are encrypted with 256-bit SSL in transit and at rest. Auto-deleted 1 hour after you finish. SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant. We never look at your password or your file.
