Remove a PDF Password

A bank statement that asks for a password every single time is a small tax on every month. If you know the password, you can take it off once.

Free every day without an account on some tools. Your file is deleted the moment the job finishes.

How it works

You need the current password: this removes a password you hold, it does not break one you do not. A file that is also damaged — a broken index, which is what a cheap scanner writes — is rebuilt on the way through, and you are told that happened so you can check the pages.

Step by step

  1. Upload the locked PDF.
  2. Type the password you already use to open it.
  3. Download the copy that opens without one.

Questions people ask

Do I need the password?

Yes. This removes a password you already have from a file that is yours; it does not break into a document.

It says the file has warnings but still worked.

That is a slightly malformed PDF being repaired as it is unlocked. The output is checked before it is handed back.

Is the password kept?

No. It is used for the one job and never written down.
