How to unlock a PDF
Upload the password-protected PDF, enter the password you know, and download an unlocked copy. The resulting file has no password and can be opened, edited, and printed freely.
Important: this requires the correct password
This tool removes a password you already know. It does not attempt to guess or crack unknown passwords. If you have forgotten the password, this tool cannot help.
When is this useful?
- You received a password-protected PDF and want to remove the password for easier access.
- You locked a PDF yourself and want to remove the restriction.
- You need to process the PDF with another tool that does not support password-protected files.
Privacy
The password you enter stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
