Protect & Remove PDF Password Online – Lock or Unlock PDF Files Securely

PDF Password Protect / Remove

Add a password to a PDF, or take one off. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Drag a PDF here, or browse files

Removing a password re-renders each page as a high-resolution image and rebuilds the PDF without protection. The output opens for anyone, but its text is no longer selectable or searchable — treat it as a flattened copy, not the original file type.

You need the correct password — this tool doesn't crack or bypass unknown passwords.

Protect & Remove PDF Password Online – Secure and Unlock PDF Files Easily

PDF documents often contain sensitive information such as financial records, contracts, certificates, and personal files. To keep your documents safe, you can add a password before sharing them. If you already have a password-protected PDF and want easier access, you can remove the password (with authorization) using the same tool.

Our PDF Password Tool allows you to both protect PDF files with a password and remove passwords from PDFs directly in your browser. No software installation or technical knowledge is required.
