Remove the password from a PDF — you only need the password. The unlocked file is created locally in your browser and never uploaded.
OR DRAG & DROP HERE — ONE FILE AT A TIME
If you know the password, this tool decrypts the file and saves a new copy without the password — so you can open it anywhere without typing it again. The original file is never touched.
This tool exists to help you recover access to your own documents — a file you created, or one where the sender gave you the password. Removing protection from a document you do not own may violate its terms or the law.
Decryption runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF and password are never sent to any server and never stored.
No — and no honest tool can. PDF encryption has no backdoor. This tool only removes the password when you provide it. Use it on your own documents or files where you were given the password.
No. The tool reads the file, decrypts a copy in memory and downloads the unlocked version. Your original file stays exactly as it was.
Yes. Unlocking only removes the encryption — the pages, text, images and formatting are copied unchanged. It is exactly the same document without the password.
The tool shows a clear error and nothing is downloaded. Double-check for uppercase letters, numbers and spaces — passwords are case-sensitive.
Some PDFs have 'restrictions' (no printing, no copying) but no open password. This tool removes the open password; if the file opens without asking anything, there is nothing to unlock.
No. Everything happens locally in your browser — the file and the password never leave your device.
