Only for your own documents
Unlock PDF does not crack or guess passwords. It only works when you enter the correct password, and then it saves a copy without it. Please use it only on your own documents, or ones you have permission to change.
It’s useful for bank statements, payslips and bills that arrive password-protected, when you want to store, print or combine them without typing the password every time.
Keep unlocked files safe
An unlocked copy can be opened by anyone who gets hold of it, so keep it somewhere private. When you need to send it on, you can add a new password with Protect PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to unlock a PDF?
Yes, completely free. There is no sign-up, no watermark, no daily limit and no premium plan.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. GrabKit processes your file with code that runs inside your own browser. The file is never sent to a server, so nobody (including us) can see it. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working.
Can it unlock a PDF if I forgot the password?
No. GrabKit doesn’t crack or guess passwords. You need to know the password to remove it.
Which PDFs should I unlock?
Only your own documents, or ones you have permission to change, such as your own bank statements or payslips.
Can I remove printing and copying restrictions?
Yes. The unprotected copy has no restrictions, so you can print it and copy its text.
