About Unlock PDF
Unlock PDF is a free Becoderr tool. It needs no sign-up, runs fast and privately, and works right in your browser for most tasks. For the few server-based tools, your files are processed in memory and discarded immediately after the operation.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the password to unlock?
Yes, you must know the correct password. This tool removes protection you are authorised to remove; it cannot crack unknown passwords.
Is unlocking a PDF legal?
Only unlock PDFs you own or have permission to change, for example clearing a restriction on your own document. Do not try to bypass protection on someone else's confidential file.
Is my file uploaded when I unlock it?
No. Unlocking happens entirely in your browser, so the file stays on your device and is never uploaded to a server. There is no account and no watermark.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes. Every tool on Becoderr is completely free with no sign-up required. Signed-in users get higher file-size limits.
Are my files safe?
Yes. Browser-based tools process files entirely on your device; nothing is uploaded. Server-based tools process files in memory and discard them immediately after the operation.
