Unlock a PDF (remove restrictions)
Remove owner-password restrictions from a PDF so you can print, copy, and edit it — processed locally in your browser, nothing uploaded.

What does unlocking do?
Many PDFs carry an owner password that blocks printing, copying text, or editing while still opening without a password. Unlocking rewrites the file without those permission restrictions.
Why unlock a PDF?
So you can print a document you are allowed to read, copy a quote, or edit a form that was needlessly locked. It removes the restriction layer, not your right to the content.
How it works
Convertur loads the PDF with pdf-lib and re-saves it without the encryption dictionary, dropping the permission flags. Everything runs in your browser, so the document is never uploaded.
