Why Remove PDF Passwords?

Typing a password every time you open a frequently used document is annoying. Removing the password streamlines your workflow, allowing you to open, share, and print the file without interruptions.

Additionally, some PDFs come with "Owner Passwords" that restrict editing or printing without locking the file completely. This tool removes those restrictions, giving you full control over your document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you crack a password I forgot?

No. For security reasons, if a file has an "Open Password," you must provide the correct password to unlock it. This tool is designed to remove the password *permanently* from files you own so you don't have to type it again.

What is the difference between User and Owner passwords?

A User Password (Open Password) is required to view the file. An Owner Password (Permissions Password) restricts actions like printing, copying, or editing. This tool removes both.

Is it safe to use?

Yes. Since we never upload your files to the cloud, your sensitive data stays on your device. It is much safer than server-based unlockers that keep a copy of your file.

Is there a file size limit?

No strict limits. Since it runs on your browser, it depends on your device's memory, but it typically handles large files with ease.

Does this work on secure bank statements?

Yes, as long as you know the password to open them initially. You can use this tool to create an unlocked copy for your accountant or for easier archiving.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free. We don't charge for unlocking files and there are no daily usage limits.
