Unlock a PDF
Tired of typing the password every time? Remove it permanently from a PDF whose password you know and get a free copy. The tool also lifts the print, copy or edit restrictions set on an openable document.
You must know the open password: we don't crack the protection of documents that aren't yours.
How it works
- Drop the protected PDF
- Enter the current password (or nothing if the PDF already opens)
- Download the unlocked PDF
Frequently asked questions
I've lost the password
It can't be opened: modern encryption can't be bypassed. Contact the document's issuer.
The PDF opens but I can't print
Leave the field empty and start: the restrictions are lifted.
Is it legal?
Yes for your own documents or those whose password you hold.
