Unlock PDF – Remove a Known PDF Password

Add a password-protected PDF, enter its password and press “Unlock PDF”.

Your text and files never leave your browser — nothing is sent to a server.

Drop a PDF here or click to choose one

Only use this on files you own or are allowed to open. It does not find or guess unknown passwords.

How to use

  1. Drop the password-protected PDF into the box or click to choose it.
  2. Type the file’s password in the box that appears. For files that only restrict editing, enter the permissions password.
  3. Press “Unlock PDF”. The password is checked and an unlocked copy is created.
  4. Download the result — it will open without a password from now on.

FAQ

Can it unlock a PDF without the password?

No. The tool has no way to guess or crack passwords; it only works when you type the correct one. Use it for your own files or files you are permitted to use.

Where are my file and password sent?

Nowhere. Checking the password and removing it both happen inside your browser.

Will the content change?

Usually not — you get the same content and quality without the password. In rare cases with an unsupported encryption method, pages are re-created as images and you will see a notice.
