How it works
Add your PDF
A PDF that asks for a password.
Type its password
The password you already use to open it.
Download
The copy opens without a password.
For your own files
This tool does not guess or break passwords. You type the password you already know, and the tool saves a copy without it.
Use it only for files you own or have permission to change.
Private
Your file is processed inside your browser with qpdf, an open-source PDF library (Apache-2.0), running as WebAssembly. Passwords are used only in your browser's memory and are never saved. It is never uploaded, and nothing is saved after you close the page.
Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your browser, so your files are opened and changed on your own device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else.
Can it unlock a PDF without the password?
No. You need to know the password that opens the file.
Is it free?
Yes. Free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits.
