About the Unlock PDF Tool
A password protects a PDF, but it can be a hassle when you open the same file again and again, or when you need to merge, split or convert it. This tool creates a copy of your PDF without the password. You must enter the correct password. The tool does not crack or guess passwords, and it works in your browser, so your PDF is not uploaded to our server.
How to Unlock a PDF
- Upload your password-protected PDF.
- Enter the correct password.
- Click Unlock & Download.
- Open the downloaded PDF. It should open without asking for a password.
