Error processing file
When an Office file is locked with an open-password you no longer remember, our cloud service can recover it. Your browser sends only a cryptographic fingerprint of the file — never the document itself — and a GPU server recovers the password by testing likely candidates.
Free to try, pay on success only: running a search costs you nothing — you are charged just once the password is recovered, and nothing if it can’t be found.
A deep GPU search across large real-password lists and patterns. It can take up to ~30 minutes, and you only pay if it finds your password.
Select any protected .xlsx, .xlsm, .docx, or .pptx. It opens in your browser's memory, and stays there.
The file is rewritten on your own device. No servers, no queue, most files finish in under five seconds.
A fresh, unprotected copy is generated in the browser and downloaded straight to your device.
Most online unlockers ask you to upload your document to their servers. We built this the opposite way: the code runs on your machine, so there is nothing for us to store, leak, or look at.
Yes, your files are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No files are ever uploaded to any server. The tool works offline after the page loads.
This tool removes sheet/workbook protection from Excel files, document protection from Word files, and presentation protection from PowerPoint files. It cannot remove file-level encryption (password to open).
The tool supports modern Office formats: Excel (.xlsx, .xlsm), Word (.docx), and PowerPoint (.pptx). Legacy formats like .xls and .doc are not currently supported.
Use the built-in protection features in Microsoft Office. Go to Review tab and click Protect Sheet, Protect Workbook, or Protect Document depending on your application.
If the sheet or workbook is protected — the file opens but locked cells won't let you edit — drop it into the tool above. It strips the protection in your browser and returns an unlocked copy in seconds, with no password needed. If Excel asks for a password just to open the file, that's encryption and can't be unlocked this way.
If the document opens but editing is restricted ("Restrict Editing"), the tool removes that lock instantly. Drag your .docx in and download the unlocked version — no password required.
If the presentation is marked read-only or has modification protection, yes — the tool clears it. If it demands a password before the slides open, that's an encrypted file and needs recovery instead.
They're the same thing here. "Unlock", "remove protection" and "unprotect" all mean stripping the editing or sheet lock so you can change the file freely. The only thing no tool can unlock is an open-password (full encryption), which must be recovered, not removed.
Completely free — no sign-up, no upload, and no limit on how many files you unlock.
