Unlock PDF

Upload a PDF and remove owner-password restrictions (like no-print or no-copy) by re-saving it without them. Works for PDFs you can already open — it can't bypass a password that's required just to open the file. Runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Can it open a password-protected PDF?

No — it only removes owner restrictions (print/copy locks) from PDFs you can already open, not files that require a password to open.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.
