Unlock a PDF
Only use this on PDFs you own or have the rights to modify.
Owner-password locks (no printing, no copying) usually need no password. Files that demand a password to open do.

Remove copy, print and edit restrictions from a PDF you own or have rights to use. Upload the file, enter the password if one is required, and download an unrestricted copy. Everything runs in your browser.

Many PDFs carry an owner password that blocks printing, copying text or editing, even though the file opens freely. This tool re-saves the document without those restrictions. If the PDF instead demands a password just to open (a user password), enter it in the password field and the tool will use it to unlock the file.
Processing is fully client-side: your document is never uploaded.
Use this tool only on PDFs you own or have explicit rights to modify, such as your own exports, bank statements or documents shared with you for editing. Bypassing protection on files you have no rights to may break the law where you live.
Note: client-side unlocking cannot break strong unknown user passwords; it removes restrictions, it does not crack passwords.
