Privacy-first PDF suite

Unlock a protected PDF

Match the mode to what you exported: JSON from our client protector, or a normal PDF if your deployment has server unlock enabled.

Runs in your browser when possible; some options use our servers or a cloud converter.

Client mode expects JSON from Protect (AES). Server mode unlocks qpdf-protected PDFs you are allowed to open.

Legitimate use only

Only unlock documents you own or are authorized to open. Server unlock relies on your configured qpdf service; client unlock uses the same password you set during protect.
