About Remove password
Unlock a PDF when you already know the password — decrypt stays on this device.
You have the password; you need an unlocked copy for a tool that cannot prompt, or for merging. Enter the password, we open the file, copy pages into a new unencrypted PDF, and download.
This is not a cracking service. Wrong password fails. Encrypted files that Repair cannot read belong here first if you know the key.
Encrypt is the opposite direction.
How to use Remove password
- 1Drop the locked PDF.
- 2Enter the correct password.
- 3Download the unlocked PDF.
What it won't do
- Known password only.
- Not a recovery or audit tool for unknown passwords.
Common questions
Can you remove a password I forgot?
No. Without the password we cannot open the file, and we will not ship a brute-force toy.
Does unlock upload the document?
No. Decryption runs locally.
Will annotations survive?
Pages are copied into a new file. Treat it as a content-preserving unlock, not a perfect clone of every advanced feature.
