Remove a password from a PDF
Tired of typing the password every time you open a bank statement or a payslip? Enter it once here and save a copy that opens freely. This works for PDFs whose password you know; it does not crack or guess passwords.
How to do it
- Drop the locked PDF on the page, or press «Choose file».
- Type the password when the page asks for it, and press «Open».
- Press «Remove password».
- Press «Save» to keep the copy that opens without a password.
Good to know
- Statements and bills often use a password built from your own details, such as a date of birth or part of an account number. The message that came with the file usually says what it is.
- Some PDFs open without a password but block printing or copying. Open one here and those limits are removed from the copy you save.
- Use this only for files you are allowed to open. The unlocked copy can be read by anyone, so store it with care.

Is it safe to unlock a bank statement PDF here?
The file is opened and saved by your browser on your own device. It is not uploaded, and the password you type is not sent anywhere.
