How to use Unlock PDF
- Choose or drop your protected PDF.
- Enter its password.
- Pay once and download the unlocked PDF.
What to expect
Bank statements, payslips and tax documents often arrive password-protected. That's fine once, but tiresome when you need to open, merge, print or convert them repeatedly. Unlocking saves a copy without the password.
You need to know the password: this tool removes protection you're entitled to remove, it doesn't crack it. Only unlock documents you own or have permission to use.
Once unlocked, the PDF works with every other tool here, from merging to PDF to Word.
Unlocking happens on our server in memory, and both the file and the password are deleted as soon as you download.

Why unlock a PDF?
