Remove PDF password

Open a password-protected PDF with its password and save a copy that opens without one — handy when an upload form or printer won’t accept locked files.

    Leave empty if the PDF opens without a password but has restrictions.

    Free, no sign-up. Your files are deleted automatically after 24 hours. Create a free account for more tools and a file library.

    How to use it

    1. Choose the locked PDF.
    2. Type its password (leave it empty if it opens without one but blocks printing or copying).
    3. Press the button and download the unlocked PDF.

    Common PDF passwords

    Banks and government sites often use a pattern you already know: e-Aadhaar is the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITALS plus your birth year (e.g. RAVI1995); many bank statements use part of your name with your date of birth, or your customer ID. The email or download page usually says which.

    This tool doesn’t crack passwords

    You need the password. The tool only removes it from a copy of a PDF you are allowed to open.

    Questions

    Is my file safe?

    Files are deleted automatically after 24 hours, and the password is used only to open the PDF — it is never saved.

    It says the password is wrong

    Check capital letters and the exact pattern the sender gave. Some PDFs also have a separate owner password; leave the box empty to remove only printing and copying restrictions.
