Free PDF Password Remover

A PDF password remover creates an unlocked copy of a protected PDF when you provide the correct password. This one runs entirely in your browser, so your file and password stay on your device.

Upload

Choose a protected PDF

This tool can remove permissions or use a password you already know. It cannot crack an unknown password.

Private by design. Your PDF and password are processed in the browser and are never uploaded to Code Card.

What this tool can and cannot do

  • Known passwords: enter the password you already have when the PDF requires it.
  • Permission locks: many owner restrictions can be removed by writing a fresh PDF copy.
  • Unknown passwords: this browser tool never guesses, cracks, or bypasses a password.
  • Flattened output: some protected files are rebuilt as page images, so forms and selectable text may not survive.
