Unlock PDF — Remove Password Online Free

PDF unlocking removes password restrictions from a PDF document. This is useful when you have the password but want to create a copy without protection — for example, to make a document easier to access, share with a team, or prepare for archiving.

Our tool requires you to know the document password. It then creates a clean, unencrypted copy that can be opened freely. This is not a password cracking tool — it's designed for legitimate use when you have authorized access.

The entire process runs locally in your browser. Your password and files are never transmitted to any server.

1. Upload the protected PDF — Select the password-protected document.
2. Enter the password — Type the document password.
3. Click "Unlock PDF" — The tool creates an unprotected copy.
4. Download — Save the unlocked PDF.
