Free online PDF unlocker
Password-protected PDFs are great for security, but they can also be inconvenient when you need to open the document often, print it, or share it with people who already have permission to view it.
ModifyPDF makes it easy to unlock a PDF you legitimately own. Upload the file, enter the password you already know, and download an unrestricted PDF instantly.
Password required
To protect user privacy and prevent misuse, the tool only unlocks PDFs when you provide the correct password. If you do not know the password, the file cannot be unlocked.
This ensures that only the rightful owner of the PDF can remove protection — not a stranger who happened to find the file.
Removes all restrictions
Many PDFs come with owner restrictions that prevent common actions such as printing, copying text, or editing content. Once you unlock the PDF with the correct password, all of these restrictions are removed.
The result is a clean, standard PDF that behaves like any regular document you can freely work with.
Secure browser-based unlocking
The unlock process runs directly in your browser. Your PDF and your password are not uploaded to a server, which makes this tool safer for sensitive documents than typical online converters.
There is no account required and no watermark added to your final PDF. Just upload, enter the password, and download.
