About Unlock PDF — Remove Password
Remove the password from a PDF you already have access to — no software needed, nothing uploaded to a server. Upload your password-protected PDF, enter the current password, and the tool produces a new copy with the password removed. The unlocked PDF can be opened in any viewer without entering credentials, making it easy to share with colleagues or store in a system that does not support encrypted PDFs. This tool only removes the password from files you are authorised to unlock — you must know the correct password for it to work. If the password is incorrect the tool will show an error immediately. All processing happens locally in your browser. The original file is never modified; the tool creates a brand new unlocked PDF ready to download. This is useful when you no longer need the password protection on a document, or when you need to process the file in another tool that does not support encrypted PDFs.
