Unlock PDF — Remove PDF Password Free Online
DocTools.CC is a free online tool that removes password protection from PDF files. Enter the password, unlock the document, and download an unrestricted copy. No registration, no watermarks, and no file size limits.
Why Unlock a PDF?
Password-protected PDFs require you to enter the password every time you open them. Unlocking removes this requirement while keeping the document intact — useful when you need to share the file with others, open it frequently, or use it in another tool that doesn't support password-protected PDFs.

- Download your unlocked PDF
Key Features

No. You must know the password to unlock a PDF. This tool removes the password protection (so you don't need to enter it every time you open the file), but it cannot crack or bypass unknown passwords.
Yes. Your password is used only to decrypt the PDF and is never stored. The unlocked file and the original are both automatically deleted from our servers within 30 minutes. We use secure HTTPS connections for all transfers.
Unlocking removes the password from a PDF that you already know the password for — making it convenient to open without entering the password each time. Cracking attempts to bypass an unknown password, which we do not support. Our tool only unlocks PDFs when you provide the correct password.
