Unlocking PDFs, answered
How do I unlock a password-protected PDF?+
Drop your PDF, type the password it was locked with, click Unlock. The decrypted PDF downloads instantly. No password prompt next time you open it.
Do I need to know the password?+
You do. This tool removes a password from a PDF you can already open. It doesn't recover or guess passwords. If you've forgotten the password, contact the document's owner.
Where does the unlocking happen?+
Entirely in your browser. Your password and PDF bytes never leave your device. There's no upload to a server.
Will the unlocked PDF look identical to the original?+
Yes. Text, images, fonts, page layout, annotations, and form fields all survive. Only the encryption layer is stripped.
What if my PDF isn't actually password-protected?+
We'll let you know. If a PDF opens without a password prompt, there's nothing to unlock.
