How It Works
Use Unlock PDF in three quick steps.

Drag and drop the protected PDF or browse your device.
Enter the password
Type the password if the file asks for one, or leave it empty for restriction-only files.
Download the unlocked PDF
Save the copy that opens without a password.
What is an PDF unlocker?
A PDF unlocker saves an unprotected copy of a PDF you are allowed to open. If you know the password, it removes the password requirement so you do not have to type it each time. If the file opens freely but blocks printing, copying or editing, those restrictions are removed too.
Only unlock documents that you own or have permission to modify.
You need the password
This tool does not crack or guess passwords. It unlocks files when you provide the correct one, or when the file has no open password.
Removes usage restrictions
Files that open freely but block printing, copying or editing are saved without those limits.
Original is untouched
Your source file is not modified. The unlocked version is a new download.
Private
Decryption happens in your browser. The file and the password are never sent to a server.
