Frequently asked questions
How do I remove a password from a PDF?▾
Upload the PDF, type the password that opens it and press Unlock PDF. The new copy opens, prints and copies without asking for a password.
Can it unlock a PDF without the password?▾
If the PDF opens without a password but blocks printing, copying or editing, those restrictions are removed automatically. A PDF that needs a password to open can only be unlocked with that password; this tool does not crack passwords.
Why does my bank statement PDF have a password?▾
Banks and payroll systems often protect statements with a password such as your birth date or part of your ID number. Unlocking saves you typing it every time.
Is the unlocked PDF the same as the original?▾
Yes. Pages, text, images, links and forms stay exactly the same; only the encryption is removed.
Is my PDF or password uploaded anywhere?▾
No. The PDF and password stay on your device; decryption runs in your browser with the open-source QPDF engine.
