1Add your locked PDF — drop it above or click to browse.

2Enter its password — the one that opens the file.

Unlocking runs entirely in your browser. Your password is never sent or stored anywhere.

No sign-up, no watermarks. Unlock your own PDFs as often as you like.

Do I need the password to unlock a PDF?

Yes — this tool removes the password from a PDF you already have the password for. It can't crack or guess passwords you don't know.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. Unlocking happens entirely inside your browser. Your files and your password never leave your device — not even temporarily.

What if I enter the wrong password?

You'll get a clear "wrong password" message and nothing is changed. Double-check caps lock and try again — the original file is never modified.
