Unlock PDF

Remove the password from a PDF you can already open, or remove printing and copying restrictions.

How to use it

  1. Upload the protected PDF.
  2. If it only has restrictions (can't print or copy), it's unlocked instantly.
  3. If it asks for a password to open it, type it and click “Unlock PDF”.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser: your documents never leave your device and nobody else can see them.

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

No. This tool removes the password from documents you can already open, such as bank statements or payslips, so you don't have to type it every time.

What are restrictions?

Some PDFs open without a password but don't let you print, copy text or edit. Here they're removed without needing a password.
