How do I remove a password from a PDF?
Open FilesAll's Unlock PDF, add your PDF and press Unlock PDF. Type the password when FilesAll asks for it, then download a copy that opens without one. Limits on printing or copying are removed too. It all happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. This tool is part of FilesAll Pro.

Frequently asked questions
Can FilesAll unlock a PDF if I don't know the password?
No. You need the password that opens the file. FilesAll does not guess or break passwords.
My PDF opens fine but will not let me print or copy. Can this help?
Yes. Some PDFs open without a password but block printing, copying or editing. Unlock PDF removes those limits without asking for a password.
Is my password sent anywhere?
No. The file is unlocked inside your browser, on your own device. The password and the file are never uploaded.
What if the PDF has no password?
FilesAll tells you so and changes nothing. You can still download the file as it is.
Is FilesAll free?
Yes. You can use FilesAll free every day without signing up, and the tool shows how many free files you have left today. A free account gives you more each day, and Pro removes the daily limit.
Do I need to install anything?
No. FilesAll works in the web browser you already have, on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPhone and Android. There is nothing to install, and you do not need an account to start.
Are my files uploaded?
No. FilesAll does all the work inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to our servers or anyone else's, and they disappear when you close the tab.
