How to use Unlock PDF
- Choose a PDF from your device. Your files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers.
- Choose the protected PDF and enter its current password.
- Unlock it, check the preview, and download the unencrypted copy.
A closer look
Create a password-free copy for a workflow where repeated password prompts are inconvenient. You must supply a valid password; this tool does not guess or crack passwords. The downloaded document can be opened without a password, so store and share it with appropriate care.
A practical example
Open your own protected document with its correct password and download an unlocked copy for a workflow that cannot accept encrypted PDFs.
A useful tip
Passwords are case-sensitive. Check capital letters and extra spaces if the document does not open.
Good questions. Simple answers.
Can it unlock a file without its password?
No. Obtain the password from the document owner. Toolzafi does not bypass unknown passwords.
