About this tool
Enter the password for a protected PDF and download an unlocked copy. Decryption runs entirely on your device.
PDF Unlock is a utility tool that removes password protection from encrypted PDF documents. If you've forgotten a password, need to edit a restricted PDF, or want to remove printing and copying restrictions from a document you own, this tool provides a straightforward solution. Simply upload your locked PDF, enter the correct password, and the tool will produce an unlocked version free of all restrictions—entirely within your browser.
The tool handles both types of PDF passwords: user passwords (required to open the document) and owner passwords (that restrict editing, printing, and copying). Once unlocked, your PDF becomes fully accessible and editable, compatible with any PDF reader or editor without restrictions. All decryption happens client-side, ensuring your password-protected documents and their passwords remain completely private.
