Remove PDF Passwords Instantly

If you have the password to a secured PDF but are tired of typing it in every time you open the document, you need a PDF unlocker. FileForge allows you to permanently strip the encryption from your document locally, creating a brand new, unprotected file.

How to Remove PDF Encryption

Upload your locked PDF and enter the correct password when prompted. Our local decryption engine will use the password to decrypt the AES/RC4 cipher, parse the document structure, and rewrite the PDF completely unencrypted for easy future access.

Why Local Decryption is Crucial

Uploading an encrypted PDF along with its password to a third-party server completely defeats the purpose of securing the document in the first place. FileForge performs the decryption securely on your device, ensuring your password is never transmitted across the internet.
