Frequently asked questions
How do I remove password from PDF offline?
Add the protected PDF. Type the password if the PDF asks for one to open; restrictions alone need no password. Click Unlock PDF and download the unlocked copy.
How to unlock password protected PDF offline?
Add the PDF, type its password when asked, and click Unlock PDF. You download a copy that opens without a password. If the file only has restrictions, no password is needed at all.
Can I unlock a PDF without the password?
Only if the password protects permissions (printing, copying, editing) and not opening. A PDF that asks for a password to open is encrypted, and it can’t be decrypted without that password.
How do I remove printing or copying restrictions?
Add the PDF. If it opens without a password, the tool detects the restrictions and removes them with one click.
Is it legal to unlock a PDF?
Removing a password from your own documents, or documents you are entitled to use, is generally fine. Don’t remove protection to get around someone else’s copyright or terms of use.
Is it safe to use with confidential documents?
Yes. The file is opened by your own browser and processed in your device’s memory. It is never uploaded, so no server, including ours, ever receives a copy. That makes it suitable for contracts, IDs, medical or bank documents.
