How can I remove a password from a PDF document?
Simply upload the protected PDF, type in the password, and click unlock. You'll get a version without password protection that opens freely.
Will this tool crack PDF passwords I forgot?
No, this is not a password cracker. You must enter the correct password to unlock. It converts protected PDFs to unprotected ones when you know the password.
Are there any restrictions on unlocking PDFs?
Only unlock files you own or have authorization for. This tool is designed for legitimate purposes like removing protection from your own documents.
Do my PDFs get uploaded to your servers?
Never. All unlocking happens directly in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files and passwords stay completely private on your device.
What if my PDF has restrictions but no password prompt?
That's an owner password. Enter it here to remove restrictions on printing, copying, and editing. The resulting PDF will have no limitations.
Will the unlocked PDF open in all PDF readers?
Absolutely. The output is a standard PDF that opens in any viewer - Adobe Acrobat, Chrome, Edge, Preview, or mobile apps.
All decryption happens locally in your browser. Your PDFs and passwords never leave your device.
