Privacy: everything runs in your browser — files never leave your device.
Our free PDF password removal tool allows you to unlock password-protected PDF files entirely in your browser.

All processing happens locally on your device—your files and passwords never touch our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security.
This tool is perfect for PDFs you legitimately own or have permission to unlock, such as personal documents, purchased ebooks, or files shared with you by colleagues. Once unlocked, you can freely merge, split, reorder, or edit the PDF without password prompts.
