About remove pdf password
If you own a PDF but it asks for a password every time, remove the password once and keep an unlocked copy. Enter the password you already use and the tool saves a version that opens without prompting.
It all happens locally — your password and file never leave the browser. This works only for documents you can already open; it does not recover lost passwords.

It's completely free with no sign-up, no email and nothing to install. There are no daily limits and no watermarks on your output.

Yes. It runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari — on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone and Android. There is nothing to download.
