PDF Tools
Unlock PDF
Remove the password from a protected PDF entirely in your browser. The file and your password are never uploaded. No account, no email.
Frequently asked questions
- Does my file or password get uploaded?
- No. The password removal runs entirely in your browser, on your own device. The protected file and the password are never transmitted — they stay on your device throughout.
- Do I need to know the password?
- Yes — you need the correct open (user) password to remove protection. This tool removes a known password; it cannot crack or bypass an unknown one.
- What happens if I enter the wrong password?
- You get a clear message that the password was incorrect. The original file is unchanged — you can try again with a different password.
- Does it change anything else in the document?
- No. Only the password protection is removed; the content, layout, images, and metadata are left exactly as they were in the original.
