Banks, employers and government portals send PDFs locked with a password, often built from your name, date of birth or account number. Typing it every time gets old.

FAQ
Remove PDF password questions
Do I need to know the password?
Yes, if the PDF asks for one when it opens. You type it once, and the copy you download no longer needs it. If a PDF opens without a password but won't let you print or copy, no password is needed at all.
Is it safe to remove the password from a bank statement here?
The statement is unlocked in your browser and never uploaded, and the password is used only on your device. Keep the unlocked copy somewhere private, since it no longer asks for a password.
Why won't my password work?
Passwords are case-sensitive, so check Caps Lock, and use exactly the format the sender gave, such as capital letters or a particular date format.
Can I remove a PDF password on my phone?
Yes. It works in mobile browsers on Android and iPhone: pick the PDF from your files or downloads, type the password and save the copy.
