Why your files stay on your device

Nothing is uploaded

Most online PDF sites send your file to their servers. PDFMoss does the work inside your browser, so there is nothing to intercept, store or leak.

No limits on uses

There are no daily caps because there are no servers doing the work. Use any tool as often as you like.

Works on your phone

Every tool works on iPhone and Android: pick photos from your gallery and sign with your finger.

Original quality, works offline

Pages and images keep their quality, and once you install the app the tools work without an internet connection.

How to unlock a PDF

  1. Drop a PDF on the page or click to choose it.
  2. If the file asks for a password, type it under the file name.
  3. Click Unlock and download the PDF without restrictions.

Frequently asked questions

Can it open a PDF if I don't know the password?

No. Files that only restrict printing or copying unlock automatically, but a password needed to open a file must come from you.

Which PDFs does this help with?

Statements, payslips, receipts and forms that refuse to print, copy text or let you edit or merge them.

Is this allowed?

Use it only on documents you own or are authorized to use.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. PDFMoss processes files inside your browser. The counter at the top of the page shows 0 B uploaded because nothing is sent.

Is PDFMoss free?

Yes. Every tool is free to use with no sign-up and no watermark on your files.
