If you have a PDF that prompts for a password every time you open it and you know that password, unlocking removes the requirement so the file opens freely. This is for documents you own or are authorised to access.
Enter the current password, and the tool produces a decrypted copy — entirely within your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Can this crack a password I don't know?
No. You must supply the correct current password. The tool decrypts documents you are authorised to open — it does not bypass or guess unknown passwords.
Is unlocking legal?
Removing a password from a document you own or have permission to access is fine. Do not remove protection from documents you are not authorised to modify.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Decryption happens in your browser and nothing is transmitted.
