About the PDF Unlocker

Save an unprotected copy of a PDF so you don’t need to type the password every time, or remove restrictions that stop you printing or copying from your own documents.

You need to know the password to open a password-protected PDF — this tool doesn’t crack passwords. Please only unlock files you own or have permission to modify.

Frequently asked questions

I don’t know the password — can you remove it?

No. Without the password the contents are encrypted and can’t be read. Ask the sender for the password or an unprotected copy.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is processed by your browser on your own device and never leaves it. Closing the page discards everything.
