About Unlock PDF

If you are tired of typing the password for a bank statement or a file of your own, enter it once here and download a copy that opens without one.

This tool does not crack or bypass passwords. You must enter the correct one, and you should only unlock files you own or have permission to change.

Common reasons to remove a password

  • Statements and letters from your bank or employer that you open often.
  • Preparing your own PDF to merge, split, compress or number; those tools need an unlocked file.
  • Archiving your own documents where a forgotten password would lock you out later.

Keep sensitive files safe

An unlocked PDF can be opened by anyone who gets a copy. Store it somewhere private, and use Protect PDF again before sending it on.

How to use it

  1. 1Choose or drop the protected PDF
  2. 2Enter its current password
  3. 3Remove the password and download the PDF

Questions

I forgot the password. Can GlobTool open it?

No. The correct password is required, and GlobTool does not try to guess or bypass it.

Why unlock a PDF?

Unlocked files can be merged, split and compressed with other tools, and open without typing a password.

Is my password saved?

No. It is used once to decrypt the file and is not stored or logged.
