Remove password protection from a PDF. Enter the current password and download an unlocked, password-free version. Runs locally in your browser.
Open Unlock PDF → free, no sign-inA password-protected PDF that you own but can't open — because the password was in an old email, set by a previous team member, or just forgotten — is a common problem. Unlock PDF takes the document, takes the password, and produces an unlocked version you can open, share, and work with freely. Everything runs in the browser.
Anyone who knows the correct password for their own PDF but needs an unprotected version for ongoing use without re-entering the password every time.
No tutorials. No learning curve. Open it and get started.
No server uploads. You need to know the current password — this removes protection from PDFs you own, not arbitrary encrypted files.
Completely free. No trial period. No premium tier for basic functionality. No account required. Use it as often as you need.
One job, done well. Unlock PDF was built to solve a specific problem cleanly. No feature bloat, no ads, no distractions.
Does this crack unknown passwords?
No — you need to know the current password. This removes the protection once you've entered the correct password.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No — unlocking runs locally in your browser.
What type of password is removed?
User open passwords. Some PDFs have separate owner (editing restriction) passwords — results vary.
Can I re-lock the PDF after unlocking?
Use a PDF editor or tool that supports adding password protection.
Does it work on all encrypted PDFs?
Standard 128-bit and 256-bit AES encrypted user passwords are supported.
Free. Instant. No sign-in. Open it and get the job done.
