Do I need to know the password to unlock the PDF?
Yes. This tool is designed to remove a known password permanently from a document so you don't have to enter it repeatedly. It is not a password-cracking tool.

Remove PDF Passwords Securely Online
Regain access to your locked documents with our free Unlock PDF tool. If you have the password for a PDF but want to permanently remove it so you don't have to type it every time, this tool will create an unencrypted copy for you in seconds.
100% Private, Browser-Based Unlocking
Unlike most PDF unlockers that force you to upload your locked files to their servers, our tool performs the decryption directly inside your web browser. Your files, and the passwords you enter, never leave your computer. This guarantees absolute privacy for your sensitive financial, legal, or personal documents.
Important Considerations
To safely remove passwords and restrictions natively in the browser without relying on external servers, the unlocked document is rendered as high-definition images. This perfectly preserves the visual layout of the document across all devices, but means the text cannot be copy-pasted or edited.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to type my password here?
Absolutely. The entire decryption process happens locally in your device's memory. Your password and files are never sent over the internet.
Why is the text no longer selectable after unlocking?
To strip the encryption natively in your browser without risky server uploads, we must flatten the document. This safely removes the lock while guaranteeing perfect visual accuracy.
