Remove a password from a PDF you own
Typing a password every single time you open a document gets tiring — especially for files you use often and already have permission to access. Unlock PDF takes a PDF you can already open, and saves an unlocked copy with the password requirement removed.
You enter the current password once, and download a clean, unrestricted version you can open freely from then on.
Private by design
The whole process runs in your browser, so neither your file nor its password is ever uploaded. This tool only removes protection you can already authenticate — it cannot break or guess a password you do not know, which keeps it strictly for documents you own.
Want to add protection instead? Protect PDF encrypts a file with a new password.
