Remove the password from a PDF

If you have a protected PDF and know its password, here you save a copy that opens without asking for it and without printing, copying or editing restrictions.

Good to know

  • You need to know the password: the tool does not guess or bypass keys.
  • Use it only on documents you have the right to modify.
  • Passwords are case-sensitive; check there is no extra space.
  • The file is processed in your browser and not uploaded to any server.
