About this tool
It's the most common case: the PDF opens without asking, but the text can't be selected or the print button is greyed out. Those are restrictions, not an open password.
When you drop the file we detect it and unlock it without asking anything. Nothing is uploaded: it happens in your browser.
How it works
- 1
Drop the PDF.
- 2
Wait a second: if it only had restrictions, they're removed automatically.

Questions
- Is it legal?
- Removing restrictions from a document you own or are entitled to use, yes. Don't use it to bypass someone else's rights.
- Is quality lost?
- No. Content is copied as is; only the encryption goes away.
