Free online Password: Add or remove PDF password. No software installation, works right in your browser, completely free.
Password lets you protect a PDF with an encryption password, or unlock a PDF whose password you already know. It uses standard PDF encryption, runs entirely in your browser, and your file is never uploaded anywhere.
Encrypt a signed contract so only the recipient with the password you share separately can open it.
Lock tax returns, medical records or ID scans stored in cloud drives with a password.
Remove the password from a file you protected earlier when sharing becomes unnecessary.
Use encryption before sending contracts or personal documents by email. Note that the password cannot be recovered — if you forget it, the file stays locked. The tool works with the standard PDF password protection used by most PDF software.
The password cannot be recovered or reset — this is a property of standard PDF encryption. Keep the password somewhere safe, or consider sharing it separately from the file.
