Unlock PDF

Unlock a PDF with the password you provide — in your browser. No cracking. Files never upload.

Private: Processing stays in your browser — files never upload.

How to verify no upload
  1. Open DevTools (F12 or ⌥⌘I) → Network tab.
  2. Drop a PDF and run Merge / Split / Compress until finished.
  3. Confirm there is no PDF POST/upload — only the page and scripts load.

“Try sample PDF” may fetch a public demo from this site — that is not your file upload.

Options

Processing: on this device
  • Unlike Smallpdf / iLovePDF — files never leave this tab.
  • No account, no daily free-limit, no watermark.
  • Verify in DevTools → Network (no PDF POST).
Session: 0 files · 0 uploads

We only try the password you type — no cracking.

How it works

  1. Pick a tool (Merge is the default on the home page).
  2. Drop PDFs or images — processing runs in your browser with pdf-lib / PDF.js.
  3. Download the result (or ZIP). Nothing is uploaded for processing.

Who it’s for

Anyone who needs to merge contracts, compress scans for upload forms, or split pages — without sending files to a freemium cloud converter.

FAQ

Do my PDFs leave my device?

No. Merge, split, compress, rotate, organize, images→PDF, and unlock run in your browser. We only serve the page and scripts.

Is IntactPDF free?

Yes. Free forever — no account, no paid plans, no ads, no watermark.

How does compress work?

Compress redraws each page as an image at a lower scale and JPEG quality, then rebuilds a PDF. That trades quality for size — you’ll see before/after bytes.

Can you remove a password I don’t know?

No. Unlock only works with the password you supply. We do not crack or bypass encryption.
