About This Tool

Remove password protection from a PDF file by entering the correct password. The tool decrypts the document and saves a new copy without any password restrictions. You must know the password — this tool does not crack or bypass passwords. All processing happens in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tool crack a PDF password?

No. You must enter the correct password. This tool removes the protection by decrypting the file with the password you provide, then saving an unprotected copy. It does not bypass or crack passwords.

Which password do I need to enter?

You can enter either the user password (the one needed to open the file) or the owner password. If the PDF only requires a password to change permissions but opens freely, you may not need a password at all.

Is my password safe?

Yes. Your password is used only in your browser to decrypt the file. It's never sent to any server. All processing happens locally on your device.

What if I forgot the password?

Unfortunately, this tool cannot help recover forgotten passwords. You'll need to contact the person who originally protected the file or use a dedicated password recovery tool.
