Unlock PDF

Remove the password from a PDF you have the password for, so it opens without a prompt — right in your browser.

About Unlock PDF

Unlock PDF removes the password from a document you already have access to. Enter the current password, and it produces a copy that opens without any prompt — handy before merging, compressing or editing a file that's protected.

The whole process is local to your browser, so your document and password stay private. Note this only works when you know the password; it cannot recover or bypass an unknown one.

Frequently asked questions

Can this crack a password I don't know?+

No. Unlock PDF only removes a password from a document you can already open by entering the correct password — it does not break or guess unknown passwords.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. The PDF is decrypted and re-saved entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded and the password never leaves your device.

Why would I remove a password?+

So you don't have to type it every time you open the file, or before merging, compressing or editing it with other tools.
