Unlock a PDF: remove the password

Tired of typing the password every time you open a bank statement or invoice? Enter it once and save a copy without encryption.

For PDFs that open without a password but block printing or copying, leave the password empty: the restrictions are removed. This tool does not guess or crack unknown passwords; you need the password to unlock a file that asks for one.

How to use it

  1. Drop the protected PDF.
  2. Enter its password, or leave the field empty if it only restricts printing or copying.
  3. Click "Unlock PDF" and download the unlocked copy.

Questions

Can it open a PDF if I don’t know the password?

No. It removes protection only from files you can open, using the password you enter.

My PDF opens fine but I can’t print it. Will this help?

Yes. Leave the password empty; the printing and copying restrictions are removed.

Is the original changed?

No. You download a new, unlocked copy; the protected file stays as it was.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Unlock PDF runs in your browser on your own device, so your files never leave it. It is free, with no account, no limits and no watermark, and the code is open source (AGPL-3.0).
