Unlock PDFs You Own

Re-entering a password every time you open a frequently-used PDF is tedious β€” a statement, a payslip, a report you reference daily. If you know the password, this tool opens the file and rebuilds an unlocked copy with the protection removed, so it opens instantly from then on. It works on permission-locked files too, where a password restricts editing but not opening.

This is for documents you have the right to access. You need to be able to open the file (with its password if it has one); the tool cannot recover or bypass a password you do not have β€” and that is exactly what keeps everyone's protected documents safe.

Processed Locally

The PDF is opened and rebuilt entirely in your browser. The file and its password are never transmitted to any server.

Remove a Password from a PDF β€” Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know the password?

Yes. This removes protection from a file you can already open. It cannot bypass a password you don't have.

Will it remove edit/print restrictions too?

Yes. The rebuilt copy has owner restrictions removed, so you can edit and print freely.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser, including entering the password.
