Tired of typing the same password every time you open your bank statement? If you know the password, Unlock PDF decrypts the file and saves a copy without the password or printing and copying restrictions.
How to remove a PDF password
- Choose the protected PDF.
- Enter its password.
- Unlock and download the decrypted copy.
Good to know
- This tool does not crack or guess passwords. You must have the right to open the file.
- Files that are only restricted (they open without a password but block printing) can usually be unlocked with the password field left empty.
Frequently asked questions
Can you unlock a PDF without the password?
Not for files that need a password to open – the content is encrypted and we do not attempt to break it. Restriction-only files can be unlocked.
Is unlocking legal?
Removing a password from your own documents, or ones you are authorised to use, is fine. Do not unlock documents you do not have rights to.
Is my password sent anywhere?
No. Decryption happens on your device.
