Step 1
Drop the password-protected PDF into the tool. If the file requires a password to open, you will need to enter it.
Step 2
Type the PDF password. The tool removes the protection restrictions so the file can be printed, copied, and edited without re-entering the password.
Step 3
Click Unlock and download a clean copy with no password restrictions. The content is identical — just without the lock.
Every tool on this site processes your files in the browser or deletes them immediately after server-side processing. No human sees your documents. Ever.
Upload the locked PDF, enter the password when prompted, and click Unlock. The tool creates a copy without password restrictions. You need to know the current password — this is not a cracking tool.
No. If the PDF requires a password to open, you must enter it. This tool removes the restrictions from a PDF you already have access to — it does not crack or bypass unknown passwords.
That depends on the context. If you are the owner of the PDF or have permission from the owner, removing the password is perfectly fine. Only unlock PDFs you have the right to access. We cannot verify ownership, so please use this tool responsibly.
Yes. Your file and password are sent over an encrypted connection, processed on our server using qpdf, and deleted immediately after. We never store your documents or passwords.
This tool removes user passwords (open passwords) and owner passwords (permission restrictions like printing, copying, and editing). It works with standard PDF encryption.
