About this tool

Unlock PDF removes password protection from a document when you can supply the password. This is for files you own — for example an encrypted bank statement you want to store without repeated prompts.

PDFYoga cannot crack or bypass a password you do not know, and will not attempt to. If a file has owner restrictions but no open password, some readers may still enforce those restrictions.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read from disk by the page, processed with WebAssembly and JavaScript on your device, and the result is created locally. Nothing is uploaded to a PDFYoga server.

FAQ

Can you recover a lost password?
No. You must know the password; PDFYoga does not attempt to break encryption.

No. The file is decrypted on your device.
Is unlocking legal?
Only use it on documents you own or are authorised to access.
When is this tool available?
It is in development and will appear here once it is reliable.
