Remove a PDF Password You Know

Unlockly removes a password you already know from a PDF, or lifts print and copy restrictions, for free in your browser. Enter the password once and download an unlocked copy that opens without a prompt. Your file and password never leave your device. It cannot open PDFs whose password you don't know.

Banks, payroll and tax offices often send password-protected PDFs. Typing the password every time is annoying. Enter it once here and download an unlocked copy. Everything runs in your browser, so your file and password are never sent anywhere. Only for files you are allowed to open.

Frequently asked questions

Can you open a PDF if I forgot the password?

No. This tool only removes a password you already know. Ask the sender for it.

What is the difference between an open password and restrictions?

An open password stops the file opening; restrictions only block printing, copying or editing, and can be removed without typing anything.

Is it free?

One file at a time is free. Batch unlocking is $2.99 for 24 hours.

Is my file uploaded?

No.
