PDF Password Remover
Unlock a password-protected PDF and download an unrestricted copy. Files never leave your device — everything runs in the browser.
Note: the unlocked PDF is rebuilt from rendered pages, so text may not be selectable. Use only for PDFs you are legally allowed to modify.
About PDF Password Remover
The PDF Password Remover unlocks a password-protected PDF you own: enter the password you already know, and the tool strips the encryption layer to produce an unrestricted copy you can print, copy and share. It handles standard PDF encryption up to AES-256.
This is not a cracking tool — it is for the everyday case where your own bank statement, e-ticket or bill has locked-down permissions. The correct existing password is required before the content can be read and written into a new, unprotected PDF.
Decryption happens in your browser, so the password never leaves your device. Layout, text and images are retained, while the resulting copy can be opened without repeatedly entering the password and can be used by other ToolSink PDF tools.

- 4Download the unrestricted PDF.
Jobs this tool is built for
- Create an accessible copy of your own password-protected bank statement for bookkeeping software.
- Unlock an e-ticket or travel document you are authorised to use before combining it with an itinerary.
- Remove repeated password prompts from archived bills after entering the password supplied by the issuer.
- Prepare an authorised encrypted PDF for splitting, rotating or other processing that cannot open protected input.
What you can do here
- Removes open and permissions passwords when the correct password is known
- Handles standard PDF encryption (AES-128, AES-256)
- Preserves layout, text and images exactly
- Local processing — password never transmitted
Limits and honest caveats
- Only use this on PDFs you own or have permission to modify — removing protection from someone else's document may be against the rules or the law.
- This removes the password/permissions layer so the file opens freely; it cannot recover a password you have forgotten or decrypt a file you cannot already open.
- The PDF is unlocked in your browser and is not stored on our servers.
