What it does
Remove the open password
Enter the password once and save a copy that opens without it.
Lift print and copy limits
For PDFs that only block printing or copying, leave the box empty to save an unrestricted copy.
Content unchanged
Only the encryption is removed; text, images and page order stay exactly the same.
No upload
The PDF and the password are used only on your device and never sent to a server.
Good to know
Bank statements and bills often arrive as PDFs locked with a date of birth or account number, and typing it every time gets old. If the file is yours, unlocking it once makes it easier to store, search and merge with other PDFs.
This tool doesn't guess or bypass passwords. It only works when you enter the correct one, matching capital letters and spaces. An unlocked file can be opened by anyone, so store it carefully, and use Protect PDF if you want to lock it again.
Questions and answers
Can I unlock a PDF without the password?
No. The tool only removes a password you know. If you don't have it, ask whoever sent the file.
It says the password is wrong.
Check capital and small letters, spaces and your keyboard language. Banks often tell you the exact format, such as a date of birth.
Can it remove a printing restriction?
If the file opens without a password but blocks printing or copying, leave the password box empty and click "Unlock PDF".
Does unlocking change the content?
No. Only the encryption is removed; text, images and pages are unchanged.
Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up. Your file and password never leave your device.
