How to do it

- Choose UnlockIt is enabled only when the PDF has a password.
- DownloadYou get an identical copy that opens without a password.
Why do it in your browser
A protected PDF is almost always something sensitive: a bank statement, a payslip, a contract. Uploading it to a site together with its password hands over both at once. Here the password is used inside your browser to open the file and nothing else.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work if I do not know the password?
No. This tool removes the password from a PDF you can already open, so you do not have to type it every time. It does not crack passwords.
Which encryption does it support?
The PDF standard ones: RC4 and AES with 128 and 256 bits.
Does it also remove printing or copying restrictions?
Yes. The copy comes out with no encryption and no restrictions.
