Why use Super PDF to unlock pdf?

Unlock PDF – frequently asked questions

What if I do not know the password?

This tool can only unlock a PDF if you know its password, or if it has no password to open (only owner restrictions). It cannot guess or crack an unknown password.

Will the text stay selectable?

The unlocked pages are rebuilt as images to guarantee the result works, so text is no longer selectable. This also removes hidden restrictions completely.

Is Super PDF really free?

Yes. All tools are free to use with no sign up and no watermark added to your files.

Are my files safe and private?

Yes. Files are processed directly inside your web browser. They are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.

Does it work on mobile phones?

Yes. Super PDF works on Android, iPhone, tablets, Windows, Mac and Linux in any modern browser.
