Unlock PDF

About PDF Unlocker

This tool removes password protection from PDF files. If you know the password, you can unlock the PDF and save a new copy without any password restrictions. All processing happens in your browser for complete privacy and security.

How does PDF unlocking work?

When you provide the correct password, the tool decrypts the PDF content and creates a new PDF file without any password protection. The new file can be opened by anyone without entering a password.

Do I need to know the password?

Yes, you must know the original password to unlock the PDF. This tool does not crack or bypass passwords - it removes protection after you authenticate with the correct password.

What types of PDF protection can be removed?

This tool removes user passwords (required to open the PDF). Owner passwords (which restrict printing, editing, copying) are also removed when you unlock the document.

Will the PDF content be affected?

No, the PDF content remains exactly the same. Only the password protection is removed. All pages, images, text, and formatting are preserved.

What is the file size limit?

The maximum file size is 50MB. This ensures smooth processing in your browser. For larger files, consider using desktop PDF software.

Is my PDF and password secure?

Absolutely! All processing happens directly in your browser. Your PDF file and password are never uploaded to any server. Everything stays completely private on your device.

Can I unlock a PDF without the password?

No, this tool requires the correct password to unlock protected PDFs. We do not support password cracking or bypassing security for ethical and legal reasons.

What if my PDF is not protected?

If your PDF has no password protection, the tool will detect this automatically and let you know. You can still download or use other PDF tools on the file.
