How to unlock it
- Open Unlock PDF and add the protected file.
- Enter the password that currently opens it.
- Download the unlocked copy — it opens with no prompt.
Why remove a password
Once a document is safely stored, the password can become a nuisance — re-typing it every time you open a monthly statement, or being unable to merge or edit the file while it's locked. Removing it (on a file you own) makes it usable again.
An important limit
This tool removes a password you know — it does not crack or bypass unknown passwords. If you've lost the password, there's no way to recover the contents; that's the point of encryption.
Need to re-protect it?
After editing, you can add a fresh password with Protect PDF.

Unlocking happens in your browser — the file and password never leave your device.
