Upload a password-protected PDF, enter its password once, and get back an unlocked copy — free to open, print, copy, or edit without being asked for a password again. Everything happens locally in your browser, nothing is uploaded to a server. Remove the password from a protected PDF.
Continue working with your unlocked PDF using these useful tools
If you own a PDF that keeps asking for a password every time you open it, this tool removes that protection for good. Enter the password once, and download a copy that opens freely from then on.
Upload your protected PDF and enter the password you already use to open it. The tool reads every page inside your browser, then rebuilds a brand-new PDF file with no password or restrictions attached at all.
This tool removes protection from PDFs you are already allowed to open — it asks for the existing password and does not attempt to guess, crack, or bypass one. Use it only on files you own or have permission to unlock.
The download is a standard PDF file with no encryption dictionary at all, so it opens instantly in any PDF reader, browser, or mobile app — no password prompt, no restrictions on printing, copying, or editing.
A password-protected PDF is useful right up until it slows you down. Here is when people reach for Unlock PDF.
Bank statements, scanned contracts, and exported reports often come password-protected by default. Unlock them once so you stop retyping the password every time you open them.
Some PDFs block printing, copying text, or editing even after you enter the password. Unlocking removes those restrictions so the file behaves like any other PDF in your other tools.
When you send a document to a colleague or client, an unlocked copy is far more convenient than one they need a password for — as long as you have the right to share it that way.
Upload the PDF, enter its password when asked, and the tool builds a fresh copy of the file with no password or encryption at all. Download it and it will open without asking for a password again.
Yes. This tool removes protection from a PDF you can already open — it asks for the existing password and does not crack, guess, or bypass unknown passwords. Only use it on files you own or are authorized to unlock.
No. The password is used only inside your browser to read the file, and the PDF itself is never uploaded to a server — the entire process, from reading the password to building the unlocked file, happens on your device.
You will see an "incorrect password" message and can try again right away. There is no limit on attempts, but the tool cannot proceed without the correct password.
Yes. Every page keeps its original size and visual layout. The only change is that the password and any printing, copying, or editing restrictions are removed.
Yes. The tool rebuilds the file from scratch without any encryption dictionary, so both the password required to open the file and any owner-level restrictions (printing, copying, editing) are removed at the same time.
You can upload PDF files up to 70 MB. Larger or longer documents may take a little longer since everything is processed locally in your browser.
Once your PDF is unlocked, you may also want to compress it, merge it with other files, or add a fresh password to protect it again with new settings.
