Remove Password Protection from a PDF
Use the current password to create an unprotected PDF copy locally.
Choose a password-protected PDF and enter its current password to create an unencrypted copy locally. The password is required; the tool does not guess, recover or bypass unknown passwords. The worker is terminated after processing, and the password is cleared from the form.
The PDF and password stay in this browser. Passwords are not logged or included in analytics.
Unlocking requires the current password. This tool cannot recover or bypass an unknown password.
Use this only on documents you are authorised to access and keep the protected original when policy requires it.
How to use this tool
- Choose an encrypted PDF and enter its current password.
- Create the unprotected copy in the browser.
- Download the new PDF and reset the tool.
Ways to use it
- Remove a known password
- Create a convenient working copy when you already have access.
- Prepare an authorised workflow
- Remove encryption before using a compatible document process.
Supported files and limits
- The current password is always required.
- Removing the password does not remove document content, metadata or signatures.
Common questions
Can this recover a forgotten password?
