Unlock PDF

Tired of typing the password every time you open your own PDF, such as a bank statement or payslip? This tool creates an unlocked copy. Enter the password once, and the new PDF opens without it.

It also removes printing and copying restrictions from PDFs that open without a password.

How to unlock a PDF

1. Upload the protected PDF.
2. Enter the password if the PDF asks for one when you open it. Leave the field empty if it opens without a password but blocks printing or copying.
3. Click Convert and download the unlocked PDF.

Unlock PDF features

• Removes the open password (you must know it) and permission restrictions.
• Clear message if the password is wrong or the PDF is not protected.
• Your password is used once and never stored.

Only unlock documents you are allowed to

This tool is meant for your own documents and files you have permission to use. It does not guess or crack passwords: if a PDF needs a password to open, you must enter the correct one.
