Create a password-free copy when you need to remove a known password from a PDF. The document is processed locally, and the password is used only for this conversion.

How to remove a PDF password

  1. Upload a password-protected PDF up to 80 MB.
  2. Enter its known user or owner password.
  3. Press Convert file and download the unlocked copy.

What you get

A structurally valid, unencrypted PDF with the same pages and document content. The original file is not overwritten, and the password is not added to the output filename.

When this helps

  • Archive a document in a system that cannot prompt for credentials
  • Index or preview a PDF in an automated workflow
  • Share a permitted password-free copy with someone who needs access

This tool removes protection only when you already know the password. It does not guess, recover, or crack passwords.
