No more typing the password every time

If you own a PDF that asks for a password each time you open it, PDFNest can produce an unlocked copy once you provide that password. This is perfect for files you control and access often. The password is verified locally in your browser, and your document is never uploaded.

Please only unlock PDFs you have the right to — this tool needs the correct password and isn't a way to bypass protection on documents that aren't yours.

Unlock PDF — FAQ

Do I need the password?

Yes. You must enter the PDF's current password — the tool unlocks files you can already open, it doesn't crack unknown passwords.

Is my file or password uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

What do I get back?

A copy of your PDF with the password removed, which opens normally everywhere.
