Unlock PDF
Remove password and protection from a protected PDF file
How Does PDF Unlock Work?
Our PDF unlock tool removes password encryption from protected PDF files. If you have a password-protected PDF and know the password, you can remove the protection to allow opening, editing and printing without needing to enter a password each time. The tool takes the protected PDF and password, decrypts the file, and returns an identical version but without restrictions. This is especially useful when you're the rightful owner of the file but the protection causes inconvenience in daily use. The process preserves all original content, formatting and quality of the PDF.
Why Remove Password Protection from PDF?
Removing password protection from PDF saves time and effort when you need to access the file frequently. If you forgot the password of your old file, the tool helps restore access. It's also convenient for sharing files with team members without needing to pass separate passwords. In situations where password protection is no longer relevant - for example, after signing a contract or completing a project - unlocking allows freer work with the file. Important to remove protection only from files you legally own.

FAQs
Is it legal to remove password protection from PDF?
It's completely legal to remove password protection from PDF files you legally own or have explicit permission to access. In fact, the tool requires you to provide the correct password - this proves you have legal access to the file. Do not use the tool to try to crack passwords of files that aren't yours. Use the tool only for files you created, purchased, or received explicit permission to use.
What happens if I enter wrong password?
If you enter wrong password, the system will immediately notify you that the password is incorrect and won't allow removing protection. The original file remains protected and secure. You won't be able to download an unprotected version without the correct password. This ensures only rightful password holders can remove protection. If you forgot the password, you need to contact the original source of the file to get it.
