Unlock PDF
Remove password protection from PDF files. Unlock secured PDFs with the correct password.
About Unlock PDF
Unlock PDF removes a viewing or restrictions password from a PDF, leaving the content readable without the password.
Some PDFs carry restrictive permissions that block printing, copying, or editing even when you have legitimate access to the content. This tool removes those restrictions in-browser. Use it only on files you own or have rights to use.
When to Use Unlock PDF
Use it to print or copy text from a PDF you legitimately own, or to remove restrictions from your own documents before reuse.
Pro Tip
This only works when a password is not required to open the file at all — fully encrypted PDFs still need the correct password.
