    Questions

    Can you unlock a PDF if I’ve forgotten the password?

    No. You need the password to open the file. UserPDF doesn’t try to guess or crack passwords.

    Is this allowed?

    Only remove protection from files you own or have permission to change.

    Are my files uploaded to a server?

    No. UserPDF runs entirely in your web browser. Your files are read and processed on your own device and are never sent to us or anyone else. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tools keep working.

    Is it free?

    Yes. UserPDF is free to use with no sign-up and no watermark on your files. It’s supported by ads.
