Stop typing the password every open
If you have a PDF you trust on your own device (a bank statement, a payslip), removing the password saves you typing it every time.

How it works
We do not break passwords. You enter the one you already know; we hand back an unlocked copy.
1
Drop the locked PDF
Add the file you want to unlock. Files up to 100 MB.
2
Enter the password
Type the open password you already have for the file. The password is used once to decrypt and is not stored.
3
Download the unlocked PDF
The output is a regular PDF without the password requirement. The original encrypted file on your device is untouched.
What people use it for
Editing or merging a locked PDF
Most PDF tools refuse to operate on encrypted files. Unlock first, then merge, sign, or edit.
Archiving
Long-term archives are easier to manage when the files inside aren't all gated by passwords you'll forget in five years.
Reflowing in a screen reader
Some screen readers and accessibility tools refuse to read encrypted PDFs. Unlocking first lets them work.
Data Security
Your files are safe.
Your files stay private
Every conversion runs in an isolated container. Your download link expires after 1 hour. After that the file is inaccessible to everyone, including us. Permanent deletion follows within 24 hours.
No account. No tracking.
No email, no login, no cookies beyond what the site needs to function. Convert and leave. We have no record you were here.
Free because of ads, not your data
We earn from advertising. We have no interest in your files, your metadata, or your conversion history. Trusted by users since 2021.

Frequently asked questions
No. We don't crack passwords. You need the password the file was encrypted with. If you don't have it, ask the person who sent it for the password.
