About Unlock PDF
Bank statements, payslips and official letters often arrive password-protected, which gets tedious when you open them often or need to merge, split or upload them elsewhere. If you know the password, this tool saves an unlocked copy that opens without it. It also removes print, copy and edit restrictions from PDFs that open without a password. The tool cannot guess or crack passwords you don't know. Add the PDF, type its password and download an unlocked copy that opens without one. The unlocked copy keeps every page exactly as it was, with no loss in quality.

Questions
Can this unlock a PDF if I don't know the password?
No. You need the password that opens the file. The tool does not guess or bypass passwords.
What does the empty password option do?
Some PDFs open without a password but block printing or copying. Leave the password empty to save a copy without those restrictions.
Is the content changed?
No. Only the encryption is removed. Text, images and layout stay exactly the same.
Is my password sent anywhere?
No. The password is used only by your browser to decrypt the file.
