PDF Tools
Remove passwords and security restrictions from protected PDF files if you know the password.
Follow these simple steps to get instant, accurate results directly in your browser:
Select the password-protected PDF document.
Type the valid password required to open the document.
Click 'Unlock PDF' to remove the password and download an unlocked copy.
The Unlock PDF tool decrypts and removes password restrictions from secured PDF documents, provided you have the authorized password to open the file. Once unlocked, the document can be read, edited, and printed without entering credentials repeatedly.
The tool uses the provided password to authenticate against the PDF's encryption dictionary, decrypts the RC4/AES-encrypted stream objects, and writes a clean, unencrypted PDF file.
All decryption calculations occur locally inside your browser session. Your password and decrypted files are never sent across the internet.
Creates an unlocked file that opens immediately in any viewer.
Decryption happens locally in your browser memory for total security.
Restores printing, copy-pasting, and annotation capabilities.
No logs, files, or passphrases are ever stored on any server.
Strip recurring password prompts from frequently accessed bank statements.
Unlock protected vendor invoices so they can be merged into accounting packages.
Store unencrypted copies of your own personal records for permanent offline access.
