Unlock PDF
Remove a known password from a PDF so you can use the file normally again. Files are processed and deleted automatically.
Important: you must know the current password to unlock protected PDFs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove a password from a PDF?
Upload the PDF, enter the current password if needed, and the tool creates an unlocked copy.
Can I unlock a PDF without the correct password?
No. You must know the current password for protected PDFs.
What if the PDF is not actually locked?
The tool will still generate a normal copy, which can be useful if you just want a clean re-saved PDF.
Will unlocking change page quality?
No. It removes encryption from the output copy without rasterizing your pages.
Are unlocked PDFs deleted after download?
No. Files are processed temporarily to generate your output, then deleted automatically. Tiny File Tools does not require signup for these tools.
