Tired of typing a password every time you open a bank statement or invoice? Unlock PDF saves a copy without the password and removes printing, copying and editing restrictions — you enter the password just once.

How to use it

  1. Choose the protected PDF.
  2. Enter the file password if asked.
  3. Click “Unlock PDF” and download the unprotected copy.

Privacy and security

“Unlock PDF” runs entirely in your browser using trusted open-source libraries. Your files are never uploaded to a server and no copy is kept, so your documents stay private. It is free and needs no sign-up.

Tip: Only use it on files you own or are authorized to unlock. A file cannot be opened without its password.
