Unlock PDF
Remove password protection from a PDF you own.
Your file is ready.
DownloadHow it works
- Choose a PDF file and enter its password if it has one.
- Click Unlock PDF and download the unprotected copy.
How it works, honestly: password-protected PDFs are opened with your password and rebuilt as a new unprotected PDF. Pages are rebuilt from rendered images, so the text layer is not preserved — the pages look the same, but text cannot be selected in the unlocked copy. Only unlock PDFs you own or have permission to unlock.
