About PDF Password Remove
Typing a password every single time you open a PDF gets old fast, especially for files you access daily. Once a document no longer needs protection, that lock just slows you down and complicates printing, merging, or editing it.
This tool removes the password from a PDF, but only when you supply the current one. You enter the existing password, the protection is stripped away, and you download an unlocked file that opens freely. It is free, runs in your browser without an account, and leaves no watermark behind. Because it requires the current password, it cannot crack files you do not have access to.
Common uses
- Unlocking a PDF you open frequently to save time
- Removing protection before merging or editing a file
- Clearing a password so the document prints without prompts
- Simplifying access to your own archived secured files
- Preparing a previously protected file for sharing with a team
