Unlock PDF
Remove password from PDF. Right in your browser. 100% free, privacy protected.
Unlock PDF removes password protection from a document you already have the password for, producing a copy you can open, print and edit freely. It is the practical fix for files that arrive encrypted from a bank or a government portal and then block every other tool you try to use on them. Decryption runs in your browser, so neither the file nor the password is transmitted. This tool is for documents you are entitled to open — it does not break or guess passwords you do not know.
- Upload Files — Drag and drop your files into the upload area, or click to browse and select files from your device.
- Set Options — Remove password from PDF
- Download — Click the download button to save your processed file. It's ready instantly!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know the password?
Yes. This tool decrypts a file you can already open; it does not recover or crack unknown passwords. If the PDF only has an owner password restricting permissions, it can often be removed without one.
Is the password sent anywhere?
No. Decryption is done locally in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
What is the difference between a user and an owner password?
A user password is required to open the file at all. An owner password leaves it readable but restricts printing, copying or editing. Both are handled here.
Can I unlock several files at once?
Yes, if they share the same password. Add them together and the results come back as a ZIP.
