About This Tool

Unlock PDF is a free-to-use online PDF decryption tool that requires no installation and no registration — just open and use. It removes the open password from a PDF, restoring the encrypted file to a freely openable PDF, with support for batch processing of multiple files. All processing happens locally in your browser, so your password and files are 100% private and never uploaded to any server. Whether you are reading encrypted documents freely, organizing files in batches, or preparing for further editing, this tool has you covered — upload and decrypt with results rivaling professional PDF editors. (Note: "free" refers to daily free quota, not unlimited; for high-volume or professional needs, consider the membership plan for more quota.)

  2. Enter the password
