Unlock PDF is a free online tool from HuntPDF. Unlock password-protected PDFs instantly. Remove user passwords, owner restrictions, printing, copying, and editing locks. Free, browser-based, no signup. You work straight from your browser — there is nothing to install, no account to create and no watermark on the result. Upload a file up to 250MB, the processing happens on our secure servers, and your document is deleted automatically once you have your result.
Drop in the PDF you want to secure. Files are sent over an encrypted connection.
Choose the password, permissions or content you want handled, then confirm.
Save the protected file. Your upload is wiped from the server automatically.
No signup, no watermark and no daily cap. Use it as often as you need.
Files travel over an encrypted connection and are deleted the moment your download finishes.
Runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
Most files are processed in a few seconds on our servers, not your laptop.
Unlock PDF removes the password from a PDF you can already open, so you don't have to type it every time. It only works on documents you have the password for — it is not a password cracker.
Upload your file using the box above — drag it in, browse for it, or bring it in from your cloud storage. A preview appears so you can check you've picked the right file. Run Unlock PDF, then download the result. You can rename it before you save it.
Yes. The file you send to Unlock PDF travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is processed automatically on our servers. It is never made public, never shared with anyone, and nobody reads it.
No. Your upload is deleted the moment Unlock PDF finishes with it, and the file it produces is removed as soon as you have downloaded it, or when you upload another file, or when you close the page. Nothing is kept, and nothing is used to train anything.
Yes. Every page, image and font stays exactly as it was. The only change is that the password prompt is gone.
Yes. Unlock PDF runs entirely in your browser, so it works on any modern phone or tablet — iPhone, iPad or Android — with nothing to install. You can upload straight from your device or from your cloud storage.
Yes. The file Unlock PDF gives you back keeps the name of the file you uploaded by default. If you'd rather call it something else, edit the name in the field next to the download button before you save it.
No. There is nothing to download, install or sign up for — Unlock PDF runs in your browser and does the work on our servers, so it behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
Most files are finished in a few seconds. A large or page-heavy file takes a little longer, because Unlock PDF runs on our servers rather than on your device — but you won't be waiting around. You can upload files up to 250MB.
Yes. Unlock PDF is free, with no signup, no watermark on the result and no daily limit for normal use.
