Frequently asked questions
Can you unlock a PDF without the password?
Files that only restrict printing or copying can be unlocked without one. Files that need a password to open require that password.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark added to your files.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. ModifyPDF processes files with JavaScript inside your browser. Your documents never leave your device, and nothing is stored after you close the page.
