Unlock PDF FAQ

Does Unlock PDF upload my file?
No. Conversion runs in your browser with WebAssembly and the canvas. imissfiles servers never receive the document. Closing the tab discards the working copy.
Is Unlock PDF free?
Yes. Unlock PDF is free. Display ads around the workbench pay for hosting. Ads are not given your file.
How do I remove pdf password without an account?
Drop the file on this page, convert, and download. No sign-in. No email. Nothing is stored between visits.
Can you remove a PDF password I do not know?
No. If the file needs a user password, you still have to type it. Owner-password restrictions (print/copy locks) can be dropped by rewriting the PDF locally.
Will the result look identical?
Image and page conversions keep the pixels you dropped. PDF compression redraws pages as JPEGs so size drops — pick a higher quality if you need sharper type.
What about large files?
Your device memory is the limit. Very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) may be slow. Nothing is queued on a server.
