Remove password protection from PDF files. Enter the correct password to unlock and download an unprotected copy.
Unlock a password-protected PDF without sending it to a server. Your file and password are processed entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted anywhere. Enter the correct password, click Remove, and download the unlocked PDF instantly.
PDFs are often password-protected when sent by banks, government agencies, or HR departments. Once you have verified your identity and know the password, removing the lock makes the file easier to open and share. This tool is also useful before merging or compressing a protected PDF, since those operations require an unlocked file.
