Remove password from PDF

Create an unprotected copy of a password-protected PDF so you no longer need to type the password. Decryption runs locally with qpdf WebAssembly — the file and password stay on your device.

Your files never leave your browser

How to use

  1. 1

    Enter the password of the PDF (leave empty if it only restricts printing or editing).

  2. 2

    Drop the protected PDF files into the box.

  3. 3

    Download the unlocked PDFs.

FAQ

Can it crack a PDF password I do not know?

No. You need the correct password; the tool removes protection, it does not break it.

Are my files or passwords uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser through qpdf compiled to WebAssembly.

The PDF opens without a password but I cannot print or copy — will this help?

Yes. Leave the password field empty; owner-password restrictions are removed.

Is the content changed?

No. Pages, text and images are identical; only the encryption is removed.
