Enter the password you already know and get back a clean copy that opens without one — done entirely in your browser.
Select your protected PDF — drag it in or click Select PDF to browse.

Hit Unlock. The security layer is removed in your browser, using the password you provided.
Download the unlocked PDF — it now opens normally, with no password prompt.
Built for speed, privacy and reliability — on any device.

Documents locked against printing or copying open up along with the view password.
The unlock runs locally — your protected file is never uploaded anywhere.
Pages carry over exactly as they were; only the security layer is removed.
No account, no watermark, no limits on how many files you unlock.
Add the protected file, type the password that currently opens it, and click Unlock. You get a clean copy that opens without any prompt — free, no account.
