Remove password protection from a PDF you are authorized to open, entirely in your browser.
The file stays local while qpdf WASM decrypts the document into a new downloadable PDF.
Choose a protected PDF file or drag it here. The password is processed locally in your browser.
Some PDFs are password-protected so they only open for authorized users. This tool removes that protection when you know the password.
The entire operation stays in your browser. qpdf WASM reads the protected document, decrypts it, and returns a new unlocked PDF for download.
Enter the password that opens the document. If the file supports an owner password, that works too.
The PDF never leaves your device. All decryption happens in the browser using WebAssembly.
The output file opens without a password because qpdf creates a new unlocked PDF.
No. The PDF is processed locally in your browser.
No. This tool only decrypts PDFs when you already know the correct password.
Yes. The result is a real PDF file with the password protection removed.
The tool renders a local preview in your browser and never sends the PDF to a server.
