Unlock PDF online

Remove the password from a PDF you own so it opens without a prompt.

How to use

  1. Upload the protected PDF.
  2. Enter its current password.
  3. Run the tool and download the unlocked file.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the current password?

Yes. This tool removes protection from documents you can already open; it does not break unknown passwords.

Is the content changed?

No. Only the encryption is removed. Pages, text and images stay exactly as they were.

Is Unlock PDF free to use?

Yes. There is no account, no daily limit and no watermark. Files can be up to 200 MB each.

What happens to my files?

Uploads and results are stored only while the job runs and are deleted automatically about 15 minutes later.
