About Unlocking PDFs

Enter the PDF's current password to open it, then this tool rebuilds a new copy without a password requirement. Since removing real PDF encryption safely requires rendering each page, the unlocked file is image-based rather than text-selectable — you can view, print, and share it freely, but text inside it won't be selectable or searchable.

This tool only works if you already know the password — it can't guess, crack, or bypass one. Everything happens locally in your browser; your file and password are never uploaded anywhere.
