How does the Unlock PDF (Remove Password) work?

Remove the password from a password-protected PDF — provided you know the current password. Drop your locked PDF, type the password it currently requires, and click Unlock. Your unlocked PDF downloads, ready to open without any password. Useful when you received a protected file at work and want a convenient archive copy, when you originally protected a file and now want to share it freely, or when you need to combine a protected PDF with other PDFs (most editing tools require the password be removed first). This tool decrypts; it does NOT crack — you must know the password. Files and the password you supply are processed and deleted right after you download.

🔒 Security & Privacy

Files are encrypted in transit and processed on a secure server. Your file is automatically deleted right after you download — we never store your documents.

📱 Use it on any device

Works in any modern browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and tablets. No installation, no app to download. Just open the page and start.

⚡ Quick & easy

Drag, drop, click. Most files process in seconds, not minutes. No watermarks added to your output, no per-day limits, and the tool always shows the result before asking you to download.

🎁 Always free, no signup

Free to use, every time. No account creation, no email required, no “trial” that converts to a paid plan. We make money from ads so you don’t have to pay.

Frequently asked

No — and ethically, no. Strong PDF passwords can't be brute-forced in any reasonable time. If you don't know the password, contact whoever sent you the file.
