How to Remove a Password from a PDF Online

  1. Drop your password-protected PDF onto the upload area or click to select it from your device.
  2. Enter the correct PDF password in the Password field.
  3. Choose an image quality level — 150 DPI is a good balance between clarity and file size.
  4. Click Unlock PDF and your browser decrypts and rebuilds the file instantly.
  5. Click Download unlocked PDF to save the result — no password needed to open it.

Note: To unlock your PDF entirely in the browser without sending it to a server, each page is rendered as a high-quality image before being reassembled into a clean, unencrypted PDF. This means text will not be selectable in the output. All visual content, layout, and images are preserved at full quality.

Features

  • Your file stays private: Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere.
  • No account required: Open the page and start unlocking PDFs straight away.
  • Password-required unlocking: You must supply the correct password yourself. This tool never guesses, cracks, or brute-forces passwords.
  • Three quality settings: Choose 96 DPI, 150 DPI, or 200 DPI to balance file size against visual clarity.
  • Up to 100 MB: Handles large multi-page documents.
  • Works everywhere: Compatible with all major PDF readers — Adobe Acrobat, macOS Preview, Chrome's built-in viewer, Foxit, and others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF uploaded to your servers?

No. Your file never leaves your device. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript — nothing is sent to or stored on any server.

Is this free to use?

Yes, completely free. No account required, no hidden charges, and no watermarks are added to your unlocked PDF.

Do I need to know the password?

Yes. This tool only removes the password when you provide the correct one. It does not attempt to guess or crack the password for you.

Will text still be selectable in the unlocked PDF?

Because everything runs in your browser without server access, each page is rendered as a high-quality image before being saved to a new PDF. This means text won't be selectable in the output. All visual content and layout are preserved at full quality.

Which PDF readers will open the unlocked file?

Any standard PDF reader — including Adobe Acrobat, macOS Preview, Chrome's built-in viewer, Foxit, and others — will open the unlocked file without asking for a password.

How large a PDF can I unlock?

Up to 100 MB per file. Processing time depends on your device's speed and the number of pages — large documents may take a minute or two on slower devices.
