PDF Unlocker

Remove the password from a PDF you own, or strip copy/print restrictions, and download a clean copy.

What to remove

How it works

You need the correct open password to decrypt a document. This tool cannot guess or crack passwords.
If the file opens without a password but blocks printing or copying ("owner restricted"), leave the password field empty — the restrictions are simply dropped.
The unlocked copy is written without an encryption dictionary, so it opens in every reader.
Only unlock documents you own or are authorised to modify.
