How to use Unlock PDF
Choose a password-protected PDF.
Enter the password you already know.
Remove the protection and download the resulting PDF.
The existing password is required
Unlock PDF removes encryption when you provide the correct password. It does not guess, crack or recover forgotten passwords. The resulting document is no longer protected by that password, so store it appropriately.
Processing and limits
Processing runs in your browser and the PDF is not uploaded. Files can be up to 100 MB.
