How to remove a password from a PDF
- Drop one or more PDF files into the box, or tap choose files. Next to each file you’ll see what kind of protection it has.
- If the file asks for a password to open, enter it. Files with only printing or copying restrictions don’t need one.
- Press Unlock PDF and Download the file.
A PDF can have two kinds of protection. A password to open encrypts the content: without it the file can’t be read, and you need to know it to remove it. Restrictions (no printing, no copying) don’t hide the content; they can be removed without a password.
Use this tool only for your own documents or documents you are allowed to open. The tool doesn’t guess or crack passwords.
Frequently asked questions
Can you open a PDF if I forgot the password?
No. A password to open really encrypts the file, and the tool doesn’t try to guess it.
Why does my file open without a password but won’t print?
It has restrictions set by the author. They are removed here without a password.
Is the password sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser on this device.
