Unlock PDF
Remove password from PDF online for free. Unlock protected PDF files.
Tired of typing the password every time? With PDF.dk you remove protection from your own PDF files for free — both open passwords (when you know the password) and restrictions on printing and copying. Processing runs on servers in the Nordics, and files are deleted automatically afterwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can all PDF files be unlocked?
- You must know the original password to unlock the file. We cannot break encryption.
- What happens to the content?
- The content remains unchanged. Only the password protection is removed.
- How do I remove the password from a PDF?
- Upload the PDF and enter the password if the document requires one to open. You download a copy without protection, so you no longer have to type the password every time.
- Can I unlock a PDF without the password?
- Restrictions like print and copy locks can often be removed without a password. If the file is encrypted with an open password, the password is required — the encryption cannot be broken.
- Is it legal to remove the protection?
- Yes, when they are your own documents or you have the right to use them — e.g. your own invoices, payslips and statements sent with a password.
- Is it free to unlock a PDF?
- Yes, PDF.dk unlocks PDF files online for free, no signup.
- Is it safe to upload my PDF?
- Yes. The upload is encrypted, and the file only stays on our Nordic servers while the job runs. Afterwards it is deleted automatically, and we never share your data.
