## What is Unlock my PDF?

Two PDF jobs, one app: remove a password you already know, or add a password to protect a PDF you own.
Everything runs 100% on your device, with no account, no cloud, and no upload.
Fast, private, and simple to use.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Remove a password you know from a protected PDF and save a clean, open copy
• Add a password to your own PDF to protect, secure, and encrypt it
• Set or change the password on documents you own in a few taps
• Keep contracts, invoices, statements, and personal files private
• Share PDFs safely, knowing they are password protected

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your PDFs are processed entirely on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded to a server, no account is required, and your files never leave your device.

HONEST BY DESIGN
This is not a password recovery or cracking tool. To remove a password, you must already know it. The app helps you remove a password you know and protect PDFs you own — it cannot open or recover files you do not have the password for.

Download Unlock my PDF and take control of your PDF passwords today.
