What's the difference between Personal and Studio?

Personal ($39) is for one person — unlimited use on one active device at a time. Activate on a new device and the old one signs out. Studio ($199) is for teams and commercial client work — unlimited team members, early access to new tools, and a commercial license.

Do I need an account?

No. Use any tool free up to 5 times per day on compute-heavier tools, and unlimited on lightweight ones. No card, no account, no signup required.

Where are my files processed?

Right on your device. Files never upload to any server. Everything runs in your browser — you can verify in DevTools → Network.

What happens if I use my Personal license on a second device?

The new device activates and the old device signs out. Your license key stays the same — you just move it between devices as needed. No limit on how often you switch.

Does this work on my phone?

Yes. Every tool works on iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop.

What if I want a refund?

30-day money-back guarantee on both tiers. No questions asked. Email sales@cipherforces.com.

Will you add more tools?

Yes. New tools ship regularly. Your license includes every tool we ever release — Studio members get early access.

About Unlock PDF.

Remove Passwords From PDFs You Own

Paste or drop a password-protected PDF, enter the password you know, and CipherForces returns a decrypted copy — no password required to open. All decryption happens locally; we never see the password or the document.

Important: Legal Use Only

Only use this tool on PDFs you own or are authorized to unlock. Removing password protection from documents you don't own may violate copyright, privacy laws, or the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Common Use Cases

Access your own encrypted archives: PDFs you encrypted years ago and want to make portable again.
Remove expired document restrictions: Bank statements from old accounts you need to share with an accountant.
Workflow unblock: A scan-to-PDF tool added automatic encryption and you want to disable it.

Key Features

Accepts any valid password length: Short numeric pins, long passphrases.
Owner or user password: Either type works for decryption.
Preserves all content: No re-rendering; text, fonts, and forms remain byte-identical.

Privacy: Decryption runs locally via pdf-lib. Password and file are never transmitted.
