Unlock and Remove Password from PDF Online
Remove password restrictions from PDF documents you are authorized to modify. If you have an encrypted PDF (such as a monthly bank statement, utility bill, or corporate invoice) that requires entering a password each time you open it, our unlock tool decrypts the document using your authorized password and exports a permanently unlocked version. Please note: you must know the authorized password; this tool does not bypass or crack unknown passwords.

Authorized PDF Decryption and Password Removal
Many institutions password-protect statements with your birthdate, social security digits, or account number for security in transit. While secure for transmission, having to enter credentials every time you review an archived statement is time-consuming.
Our authorized unlock utility takes your valid password, decrypts the document object streams and cross-reference catalog using standard cryptographic routines, and saves a clean unencrypted copy of the document.
Because all decryption occurs strictly in your browser memory, your secret password and sensitive financial statements are never transmitted over the internet to remote servers.
