Unlock a PDF
Upload your password-protected PDF and, if you already know the password, generate a copy that opens without asking for it.
Your file stays on your device: it's never uploaded to any server
Drag your PDF here or click to choose it
This only works for PDFs whose password you already know. A forgotten password can't be recovered or guessed.
Your PDF is ready, with no password.

This tool is for when you already know a PDF's open password (for example, you set it yourself, or the person who created it gave it to you) and you want a copy that opens directly, without having to type it every time. Upload the file, type the password if it's asked for, and download the unlocked copy. It's not a tool for figuring out or forcing passwords you don't know. Everything happens in your browser: the file is never uploaded to any server.

Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to any server?
No. The whole process happens in your own browser, so your files never leave your device: they're not uploaded, not stored, and nobody sees them.
Is it free? Are there any limits?
Yes, it's free, with no watermarks and no sign-up. The free plan supports files up to 10 MB (and up to 5 at a time in the tools that combine several PDFs); MásPDF Pro removes those limits.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No. It works right in your browser, on desktop or mobile. You can also install it as an app and use it offline.
Can I remove the password if I don't know it?
No. You can only remove it if you know the password; you need to enter it to unlock the file.
