What is PDF Unlock?

ToolLove's PDF Unlock tool removes password protection and restrictions from PDF files — instantly and for free. Just upload your password-protected PDF, enter the password, and download the unlocked version.

This tool works for both open passwords (required to view) and owner passwords (which restrict printing/editing). Unlocking a PDF you own is completely legal and is useful when you've forgotten the password or need to edit a restricted file.

Supported use cases: Unlocking your own PDFs to edit them, removing print restrictions from documents you own, recovering access to old password-protected files.
