.pdf only — one file at a time

You need to already know the password — this doesn't crack or bypass one you don't have.

What Does This Tool Do?

It removes password protection from a PDF you already have the password for, so you don't have to type it in every time you open the file. Upload the PDF, enter its current password, and download an unlocked copy.

This requires the correct existing password. It's not a password-cracking or bypass tool — if you don't know the password, this won't help.

Why Remove a PDF Password?
