How UnPaywalled.com works

1. Paste the URL

Any article from a news site, magazine, or blog behind a paywall.

2. Pick a service

We send you to a clean cached or summarized version using proven public archives.

3. Read freely

The article opens in a new tab — no login, no subscription wall.

These services work by using public web archives, search engine caches, and smart proxies that many publishers allow for indexing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Important: UnPaywalled.com is a simple aggregator that links to third-party public services (archives and bypass tools). It does not host, copy, or distribute any copyrighted content itself.

Using bypass services may violate the Terms of Service of the original publishers. Many news organizations rely on subscriptions to fund quality journalism. We strongly encourage you to support the sites you value by subscribing when you can.

This tool is provided for personal, educational, and research purposes in jurisdictions where such use qualifies as fair use or equivalent. You are solely responsible for how you use it. We do not guarantee that any service will work on every article.
