Unlock PDF

Remove a password you already know, so the file opens without asking for it.

Drop your protected PDF here
or click to browse — the file stays on your device

Type the password exactly as you normally would in your PDF reader.

This tool only removes a password you already know, from a document that is yours. It cannot guess, crack or bypass a password you do not have — without the correct password nothing can be unlocked here.

Done

How to remove a password from a PDF for free

Drop the protected PDF above, type the password you use to open it, and press Unlock PDF. The decrypted copy downloads straight away and opens without any prompt in Acrobat, Chrome, Edge, Preview on Mac and phone apps — the pages, text and layout stay exactly as they were.

Why doing this in your browser matters

Other unlock sites receive two things at once: your confidential PDF and the password that protects it, both sitting on somebody else's server. EditZap decrypts the file locally with qpdf compiled to WebAssembly, so the document and the password both stay on your device and nothing is ever uploaded.
