Unlock PDF

This removes protection from PDFs you can already open — it cannot crack unknown passwords.

About this tool

Typing the same password every time you open your own bank statement gets old. If you know a PDF's password, this tool saves you a password-free copy — decrypted right in your browser by the qpdf engine, with neither the file nor the password leaving your device.

How to use

  1. Choose the protected PDF.
  2. Enter its current password.
  3. Press "Unlock & download" to save an unprotected copy.

Decryption happens locally in WebAssembly. Entering a document password into a random website is exactly the kind of thing you should never do — here it never leaves the tab.

Frequently asked questions

Can this crack a PDF whose password I don't know?

No. It removes protection only from documents you can already open — it is a convenience tool, not a password cracker.

Does unlocking change the document?

Content, quality, and layout are untouched; only the encryption layer is removed.
