Questions & answers
How do I remove a password from a PDF?
Upload the PDF, type its password and click Unlock PDF. You'll download the same document without the password.
Can you unlock a PDF without the password?
If the PDF only restricts printing or copying, yes — no password is needed. If it needs a password to open, you must know it; we can't break encryption.
Is it legal to unlock a PDF?
Only unlock documents you own or have permission to change. Removing protection from someone else's document may break the law and our Terms.
Is it safe to upload my PDF?
Files travel over an encrypted HTTPS connection, are processed automatically without human access, and are deleted as soon as processing ends. Downloads expire after 60 minutes.
