FAQ

Unlocking PDFs — common questions

How do I remove a password from a PDF for free?
Upload your PDF, enter the correct password in the field above, and click Remove Password. The unlocked PDF downloads instantly to your device.
Does my password get sent to your servers?
No. The entire process — decryption, page rendering, and PDF rebuilding — happens inside your browser. Your password and your file are never sent anywhere.
Is it legal to remove a PDF password?
Yes, if you own the document or have been authorised to access it. Only use this tool on PDFs you have rights to modify.
What if I don't know the password?
TidyPDF requires you to enter the correct password — it does not attempt to guess or brute-force passwords. If you don't know the password, you'll need to obtain it from whoever created the PDF.
Will the unlocked PDF look the same as the original?
The content and layout will be identical. The unlocked PDF is rebuilt page-by-page from rendered images, so text won't be selectable, but all visual content is preserved at high quality.
