How to remove a PDF password

Frequently asked questions

• Can I remove a password from a PDF I own?+
  Yes. If you know the password, this tool removes it so you can open the PDF freely without entering a password every time. It works by loading the document with your password and saving a new copy without encryption.
• Will this tool crack or bypass an unknown password?+
  No. This tool only works if you already know the PDF password. It cannot guess, crack, or brute-force passwords. It is intended only for people who own the document and want to remove a password they already have.
• Is my PDF or password uploaded to a server?+
  No. Everything happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF file and your password never leave your device. We have no access to either.
• What is the difference between a user password and owner password?+
  A user password prevents opening the PDF at all. An owner password restricts editing, copying or printing but usually allows opening. This tool removes both types if you provide the correct password.
• My PDF says it is encrypted but I have no password. Can this help?+
  Unfortunately no. If you do not know the password this tool cannot help. You would need to get the password from whoever created or shared the PDF, or find an unencrypted version.
