For documents you are entitled to but are tired of unlocking — a bank statement that arrives encrypted every month, a report locked by a tool you no longer run. Type the password once and get an unencrypted copy back.
This takes a second on the first visit, then it is cached.
Drop in the locked PDF.
Type the password it opens with.
Unlock and download the clean copy.
No, and it is not meant to. bakepdf removes protection from documents you can already open. If you do not have the password, this tool cannot help you.
That is permissions-only protection with an owner password. Unlock removes it and hands back a document with no restrictions.
No. Unlock PDF runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API — the bytes of your document never travel to us. The only thing that reaches our servers is a counter incrementing by one, and whatever you deliberately choose to save to your library.
Not this one. Unlock PDF is part of Baker, at $10 a month — along with the other conversion, compression and security tools, and the AI ones. Signing, editing, watermarking, merging, splitting, rotating, organising and cropping are free, three documents a day up to ten pages each, with no account.
