Remove a PDF password you know

Take off a password you have

Up to 200 MB at a time. On a phone, large documents take longer and need more memory.

Enter the user or owner password you know for your own document. There's no password guessing and no getting round someone else's protection.

You can pick several PDFs. Each gets its own result, and you can also download them all as one ZIP.

The password isn't kept in the address bar, browser history or temporary transfer.

Your file stays on your device. No sign-up, no limits.

To remove a password from a PDF, choose the file, type the password you already know and download a copy that opens without it. Either password works: the user password that opens the file, or the owner password that sets print and copy limits. A wrong password stops the job. This tool doesn't guess passwords.

How it works

  1. Choose the protected PDF.
  2. Type the password and tick the box confirming the file is yours or that the owner has said yes.
  3. Press “Remove password” and download the new copy.

The password never goes into the page address or your browser history. If the document carries a digital signature, that signature will most likely stop being valid once protection comes off, so keep the original for anything official.

Worked example

Your bank in Serbia emails a monthly statement as a locked PDF, and the password is your date of birth or your JMBG (the 13-digit personal ID number). Your accountant wants twelve statements for the tax return. Enter the password once per file and send copies that open straight away. The originals stay exactly as the bank sent them.

Questions people ask

How do I remove a PDF password if I don't know it?

You can't, not here. Ask whoever sent the document for the password.

What's the difference between a user and an owner password?

A user password is asked for when you open the file. An owner password only limits printing, copying or editing; the file opens without it. The tool accepts either one.

Is my original file changed?

No. You download a new copy without encryption, and the original stays as it was.

Can I remove a password on my phone?

Yes. It works the same in a mobile browser, and the new copy lands in your Downloads folder.
