How to Unlock a Password-Protected PDF
If you have a PDF that's password-protected and you know the password, this tool can remove the encryption so you can access the document freely without entering a password each time. This is useful for PDFs you've previously protected but no longer need encryption for, or for documents shared with you that you have the password to.
The tool loads the PDF with the provided password using pdf-lib's decryption capabilities, then saves a new copy without any encryption. The unlocked PDF can be opened by anyone without a password. All processing happens locally in your browser.
Important: Only use this tool for PDFs you own or have authorization to unlock. The tool cannot bypass passwords — you must know the correct password to unlock the document. Your document and password never leave your device.
