Unlock PDF — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove a password from a PDF for free?
Upload the protected file to the tool at the top of this page, enter the current password, and download the unlocked PDF. It is free, runs online and needs no software.
How do I unlock a PDF online?
Upload the PDF, supply the password it currently uses, and the tool removes it. You get back an unlocked PDF that opens without any prompt.
Can I unlock a PDF without the password?
To remove an open password you need to know it — this tool is for files you have the right to open. If a PDF only restricts copying or printing, those owner restrictions can be lifted without the open password.
Is it safe to unlock a PDF online?
Yes. Files are processed over a secure connection and deleted automatically afterwards, so neither your PDF nor its password is stored.
Will the unlocked PDF open in any reader?
It will. Once the password is removed, the PDF opens normally in Adobe Acrobat, Preview, Chrome and every other reader.
Can I remove a PDF password on my phone?
Yes. The online PDF password remover works in Android and iOS browsers, so you can unlock a PDF on mobile just as easily as on a desktop.
