Locked out of your PDF or need to remove restrictions? Our Unlock PDF tool allows you to remove passwords and security settings from your documents instantly.

All processing happens directly in your browser, ensuring your sensitive documents never leave your device.

Why Unlock PDF Files?

Removing passwords from PDFs offers several benefits:

• Convenience: Stop typing passwords every time you open a frequently used document.
• Editing & Printing: Remove restrictions that prevent you from copying text, editing content, or printing the file.
• Sharing: Share documents easily without needing to share the password securely.
• Archiving: Store unsecured copies of your files for long-term access without worrying about forgotten passwords.

• 100% Private & Secure: No file uploading. The unlocking process runs entirely on your device using client-side technology.

How to Unlock a PDF

1. Upload Your PDF: Click "Select PDF" or drag and drop your locked document into the upload area.
2. Enter Password (if needed): If the file has an open password, you'll be prompted to enter it. Correct password is required to decrypt the file.
3. Unlock & Download: Click the "Unlock PDF" button. The tool will process your file and generate an unsecured version for you to download.

Note: You must know the password to unlock documents that require a password to open. This tool removes the security so you don't need to enter it again.
