Unlock PDF

Already know the password on a protected PDF? Enter it once here to produce a clean, password-free copy.

This tool only works if you already know the password — it does not crack, guess, or brute-force passwords on files you don't have access to. Everything happens in your browser; larger PDFs show a short ad before downloading.

How it works

Why does it ask for the password?

Removing protection requires opening the PDF first, which needs the correct password — this tool doesn't attempt to bypass or crack passwords.

Will the unlocked PDF look the same?

Yes — each page is rendered exactly as it appears, then saved into a fresh, unprotected PDF. Note that this converts pages to a flattened, image-based format, so text will no longer be selectable/searchable.

Is my file or password uploaded anywhere?

No — everything happens locally in your browser. Neither your PDF nor its password ever leaves your device.
