How it works
- The password stays in your browser. When you type the password, it is used locally to decrypt the PDF. There is no upload endpoint, so neither the password nor the file can leave your device.
- The output is a clean, unprotected PDF. After unlocking, the downloaded file opens without asking for a password and has no restrictions on printing, copying, or editing.
- You need the correct password. This tool removes protection; it does not crack or bypass passwords. If you do not have the password, the file cannot be unlocked.
