Remove password protection from a PDF you own
Note: the unlocked copy is rebuilt from the decrypted pages, so text becomes part of the page image.
Remove password protection from a PDF you own. Enter the current password and download an unrestricted copy.
The password is verified against the file, then the document is rebuilt without encryption. The rebuilt copy is image-based — text becomes part of the page picture — which is why this is best for files you simply need to open, print, or archive without the password prompt.
Removing protection from documents you don't have the right to modify may be illegal in your jurisdiction. This tool is intended for your own files — for example when you've lost track of a password you set yourself.
Files are processed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.
