Unlock PDF — FAQ
You
Do I need to know the current password?
PixelDocs
Yes. The tool removes a password you already know — it cannot crack or recover a forgotten password. If you protected the file with PixelDocs, use that same password here.
You
Is it legal to unlock my PDF?
PixelDocs
Unlocking a file you own or have rights to is fine — for example removing a password you set yourself. Do not unlock documents you are not authorized to access.
You
Is my original file changed?
PixelDocs
No. The tool creates a new unlocked copy for download and never modifies your original.
You
Is unlocking private?
PixelDocs
Completely. The password and the file are processed locally in your browser and never sent to any server.
