Unlock PDF
Drop in a PDF whose viewer is blocking print, copy or edit because of an owner-password permission flag, and download a copy with those restrictions removed. This tool only removes owner-level permission restrictions — it cannot decrypt a PDF that requires a password just to open (true encryption). For password-protected PDFs that won't even open in a viewer, you'll need a dedicated decryption tool. The password field below is unused today and reserved for a future encryption-capable backend. Everything runs locally — your file is never uploaded.
