About Unlock PDF
Remove password protection from a PDF in your browser. Enter the correct user or owner password to decrypt the file and download an unlocked copy.
How it works
- Upload a password-protected PDF (drag and drop or browse).
- Enter the user or owner password — show or hide as needed.
- Unlock to decrypt locally and download the unlocked PDF.
Benefits
Open the file anywhere without remembering a password, edit it with other Dockzio PDF tools, or share a copy that isn't locked.
Encryption support
Works with AES-256 (PDF 2.0, including Dockzio Protect PDF) and legacy RC4. AES-128 is not supported yet.
Wrong password?
You'll get a clear error if the password doesn't match. Dockzio cannot recover a forgotten password.
Privacy first
Decryption runs entirely on your device with the Web Crypto API. Your PDF and password never leave the browser.
