How to Remove a Password From a PDF

Own a locked PDF? Remove the password in seconds — nothing uploaded.

Quick steps

  1. Open Unlock PDF. Go to pdfoncall.com/unlock.
  2. Add your PDF. Drop the locked file — nothing uploaded.
  3. Enter the current password. You need to know it. Removing without the password is illegal.
  4. Download. Save the unlocked copy. The original stays intact.

Legal note

Only remove passwords from PDFs you own or have permission to modify. This tool requires the current password — it's not for cracking files.

Why remove a password?

  • You own the file and no longer need protection.
  • You need to combine it with other PDFs.
  • You want to enable full-text search across your PDF library.

Want to re-protect later?
