About this tool

Unlock PDF

Unlock PDF lets you remove the password from a PDF you already have access to. Enter the password once to decrypt the PDF and save a copy that opens without it, so you don't have to type it every time you view, print or share the file.

It also works as a PDF restrictions remover. Some files open freely but block printing, copying text or editing; those restrictions are removed without asking for a password. This is useful for bank and credit card statements, salary slips and e-statements that arrive password-protected but need to be merged, printed or uploaded to another service.

The tool does not crack or guess passwords — you need the correct one, and should only unlock files you own or have permission to change. Decryption runs locally in your browser, so the PDF and password never leave your device.

  • Remove open passwords

    Enter the password once and download a copy that opens without it.

  • Lift restrictions

    Remove blocks on printing, copying and editing, even when no password is needed to open.

  • Content unchanged

    Only the encryption is removed; pages, text, images and form fields stay the same.

  • Local decryption

    Your PDF and password are processed on your device and never uploaded.
