Unlock PDF

Remove the password from an encrypted PDF so you don't have to type it every time.

Important Legal Notice

This tool is not a password cracker. It is designed to remove the encryption from a document for which you already know the password (e.g., a bank statement). You must provide the correct password to unlock and save the file.

Permanently remove passwords from your PDFs

Getting tired of typing a password every single time you want to open your monthly bank statement or pay stub? Our unlock tool lets you decrypt the PDF locally in your browser so you can save an unprotected version to your computer.

How it works

1

Select an Encrypted PDF

Choose the protected document from your local device.

The browser decrypts the file and provides you with a clean, unprotected PDF you can open instantly.

Why use this tool?

Local Decryption

Your highly sensitive documents (like bank statements) are never uploaded to our servers. The decryption math happens entirely on your own computer.

All Encryption Types

We support decrypting legacy 40-bit RC4 all the way up to modern, military-grade AES-256 PDF 2.0 encryption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you unlock a PDF if I forgot the password?

No. This tool is designed for convenience, not hacking. You must know the valid password to decrypt the file.

Is my bank statement uploaded to your server?

No. PDFUp runs entirely in your web browser. Your private documents are never transmitted over the internet.

Remove PDF Passwords Privately

Having to type a password every single time you want to open your monthly bank statement or pay stub is incredibly tedious. You know the password, and you just want to permanently remove it so you can quickly access your own files. Unfortunately, most online tools that offer to unlock PDFs require you to upload your highly sensitive document—and sometimes the password itself—to their servers. That is a terrible idea for your personal security.

Our unlocking tool is fundamentally different. It brings the decryption engine directly into your web browser. When you enter your password, the cryptography runs entirely on your own computer. Your private financial documents and your passwords never leave your device. We never see them, and they are never transmitted over the internet.

This offline approach provides immediate results. You don't have to wait for a secure connection to upload your file, and you don't have to wait for a remote server to process the decryption. You simply provide the password, and your browser instantly generates a clean, unlocked PDF that you can save and open without hassle.
