Unlock PDF

Remove the password from a PDF you have the password for, so it opens without one. Nothing is guessed, cracked or uploaded.

Choose or drop a PDF. It is opened in this tab and never uploaded.

Your file stays on your device

Your browser opens and processes the file itself. It is never uploaded, to Sellstamp or anyone else, and nothing is kept after you close the page.

How to use it

  1. Choose the password-protected PDF.
  2. Type its password.
  3. Press “Unlock the PDF” and download the copy without a password.

Your files are not uploaded

The PDF is put together by this browser tab. Your files are read from your device, processed here, and the result is handed back to you as a download. Nothing is sent to Sellstamp or anyone else, so there is no copy on a server to worry about afterwards, and no upload to wait for.

You need the password

This tool opens the file with the password you type and saves a copy without encryption. It does not guess or crack passwords. A PDF that opens without a password but restricts printing or copying is left alone: lifting those restrictions needs the owner’s password, and this tool does not remove them without it.

Questions

Can this remove a password I do not know?

No. It only unlocks files with the password you type.

Why do I need to unlock a PDF?

To stop typing the password every time, or to use the file with tools that cannot open encrypted PDFs, such as merging.

Is the unlocked file the same otherwise?

Yes. Pages, text and images are unchanged; only the encryption is removed.

Is the password sent anywhere?

No. The file is decrypted in your browser.
