About Unlock PDF
Unlock PDF removes password protection using the password you provide. PDFDroid first tries a full decryption that keeps your original text and quality; if that's not possible for a particular file, it falls back to a high-quality flattened copy.
1
Upload the protected PDF and enter its password.
2
PDFDroid decrypts and rebuilds the file.
3
Download the unlocked copy.
Results can vary by file. Please review the output before relying on it — see our Disclaimer for details.
Frequently asked questions
Can this crack a password I don't know?
No — PDFDroid only removes protection when you supply the correct password yourself; it does not attempt to guess or break passwords.
Will the unlocked file keep selectable text?
In most cases yes — PDFDroid decrypts the file directly, keeping the original vector text and quality intact.
