How Paywall Unlocker Bypasses Paywalls?

Tools like 12ft.io and Archive.org offer free access to content hidden behind paywalls. We don’t store or manipulate content; instead, we redirect you to legitimate, freely available sources. This is entirely legal and hassle-free.

What Types of Paywalls Can Be Bypassed?

While our tool is compatible with many websites, including academic journals and premium news platforms, success may vary depending on the type of paywall. We continuously improve our services to remove as many paywalls as possible. Paywall Unlocker is designed to bypass soft paywalls, where the content is still on the page but hidden by an overlay or prompt. However, hard paywalls, which block content entirely until payment is made, cannot be bypassed by our tool.

How to Use Paywall Unlocker Effectively

For the best chance of bypassing or removing a paywall, start with "UNLOCK NOW", which uses multiple methods simultaneously to unlock the article. If that doesn’t work, you can manually try other services like 12ft.io or Archive.org until you find the one that works best for the specific site.

  1. Paste the URL: Enter the URL of the paywalled article into the input field.
  2. UNLOCK NOW: Our tool will attempt to bypass or remove the paywall using multiple methods.
  3. Choose a Provider: Or you can select one of the services yourself.
  4. Read Freely: Access the content without any restrictions.
