Unlock PDF: Regain Access to Your Files

Forgotten passwords or legacy permissions can lock you out of your own data. Our Unlock PDF tool helps you remove security restrictions instantly—provided you have the right credentials.

How it Works

This tool removes the "Owner Password" (permissions like printing/editing limits) and the "User Password" (open password). Note: You must know the password to remove it. We do not support brute-force cracking for ethical and legal reasons.

Remove Restrictions

Sometimes you can open a file but can't print or copy text. This is because of "Owner" restrictions. Handl strips these limitations so you can fully utilize your document.

Security Warning

Never type your PDF passwords into a website that processes files server-side. A malicious site could log your file and your password, granting them full access. With Handl, the password input stays in your browser memory and is wiped as soon as you close the tab.
