Three steps to unlock a PDF

Upload the encrypted PDF - review its encryption and permission flags - type the password you know and download the decrypted file, all without leaving your browser.

How to use

  1. Upload the encrypted PDF (click or drag and drop, up to 60MB)
  2. Check the algorithm, version and permission flags to confirm the file is really encrypted
  3. Type the open password or owner password you already know and click Unlock PDF
  4. Download the decrypted PDF - the open password and the printing or copying restrictions are gone

Decryption runs entirely inside your browser: neither the file nor the password is uploaded, and it works offline.
