What types of passwords can be removed?

We can remove both user passwords (required to open the PDF) and owner passwords (restrictions on editing, printing, etc.). You must know the password to unlock the file.

Is it safe to unlock my PDF here?

Yes! All processing happens in your browser. Your files and passwords never leave your device and are not uploaded to any server.

Can I unlock multiple PDFs at once?

Yes, you can upload up to 20 PDFs and unlock them all with the same password in one batch operation.

What if I don't know the password?

Unfortunately, we cannot unlock PDFs without the correct password. This tool requires you to know the password to remove it.

What if my PDF is not password protected?

The tool will detect that the PDF is already unlocked and you can download it as-is without needing to enter a password.
