Remove password protection from a PDF you are authorized to unlock. Upload your protected PDF, enter its password, and download the unlocked document securely for free.
Remove password protection from a PDF when you know the current password. Upload the encrypted document, enter its password, and create an unlocked PDF that no longer requires that password to open.
Decrypt a password-protected PDF using the correct existing password.
Enter the password that currently opens the encrypted PDF before unlocking it.
The resulting document remains a PDF while its opening-password encryption is removed.
Uploaded and generated processing files use temporary server storage and are removed after the request finishes.
Remove PDF password protection in three simple steps.
Choose a password-protected PDF from your device, drag and drop it into the upload area, or import it from cloud storage.
Enter the current password required to open the encrypted document.
Select Unlock PDF. After successful verification, the decrypted PDF is downloaded.
Unlock encrypted PDF documents when you have permission to modify them and know the required password.
An encrypted PDF can require a password before its contents can be opened. When the correct password is supplied, this tool decrypts the document and creates an output PDF without that opening-password encryption.
The original file on your device is not changed. A separate unlocked PDF is generated for download.
This tool requires the existing PDF password. Use it for documents that you own or have permission to decrypt. It is not designed to discover, recover, guess, or bypass unknown passwords.
Upload the protected PDF, enter its current password, and select Unlock PDF. If the password is correct, an unlocked copy is generated for download.
Yes. The current password is required. This tool does not guess, recover, or bypass unknown passwords.

No. The original PDF on your device remains unchanged. A separate decrypted PDF is created.
The PDF cannot be decrypted and the request returns an error. You can retry using the correct password.
No unlocking is necessary in that case. The processor detects unencrypted PDFs and rejects them rather than rewriting them unnecessarily.
You can upload one PDF file up to 100 MB.
No. Private temporary processing files are removed after the request finishes.
No. You must provide the existing password. The tool does not perform password recovery or password cracking.
