Unlock PDF runs on an encrypted secure worker

Removing a password needs the native qpdf engine, so it runs on an isolated, auto-deleting secure worker. Enter the password that already opens the file — Unlock can't recover or bypass a password you don't know. The input is wiped right after.

What happens to your file

1. Encrypted uploadYour file is uploaded directly to short-lived, encrypted storage over a pre-signed URL.
2. Structural preflightEach file is checked that it really is the type it claims to be, and malformed ones are rejected. Files are not scanned for malware here.
3. Isolated processingA single-job sandbox with no network egress does the work, then is destroyed.
4. DownloadYou get a signed, expiring link to the result — no account required.
5. Auto-deleteInputs are wiped right after processing; outputs auto-delete within the retention window.
