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

Tired of typing a password every time you open your bank statement? Decrypt the PDF locally and save an unprotected copy.

How it works

1

Select an Encrypted PDF

Choose the protected document from your local device.

2

Provide the Password

Enter the current valid password for the document. We cannot crack or hack unknown passwords.

3

Download Unlocked File

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

Typing a password every time you open your bank statement gets old fast. You know the password; you just want it gone. But most online unlock tools want the document, and sometimes the password itself, uploaded to their servers. That's a bad trade.

This tool runs the decryption in your browser. Your financial documents and passwords never leave your device; we never see either.

It's immediate, too. Enter the password, get a clean unlocked PDF to save, and move on.
