Unlock PDF

Remove the password from a PDF you can already open. Everything runs in your browser — your file and its password never leave your device.

How to remove a PDF password

  1. Choose the password-protected PDF.
  2. Type the password you use to open it.
  3. Press Unlock PDF — the unprotected copy downloads automatically.

Is it private?

Yes. The file and the password are processed entirely on your device with WebAssembly (qpdf). Nothing is uploaded — ideal for confidential documents.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know the password?

Yes. This removes a password from a PDF you can already open — it is not a way to crack an unknown password.

Are the file and password uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser, so your file and password never leave your device.
