How it works

1

Upload your file

Click the upload area or drop the file onto the page. Tools that accept multiple files let you select them all at once.
2

Enter the current password

Type the password the PDF currently uses. You need the original password to remove the protection legally.
3

Run the operation

Press the action button when you are ready. Unlock PDF runs in the background; a typical file finishes in seconds.
4

Download the result

The download button appears as soon as the output is ready. The link stays valid for one hour, after which the file is removed from our servers.

Frequently asked questions

Unlock PDF is part of the Pro plan. A 7-day free trial gives unlimited access to every Pro tool; after that, monthly billing is 9 USD or 60 USD per year.

All uploads go over HTTPS. Snappdf processes the file, returns the result, and deletes both the upload and the output from our servers within one hour. We do not read, share, or sell your file contents.

Free accounts can upload files up to 5 MB. Pro accounts handle files up to 500 MB. In batch jobs, each file is subject to these limits individually.

No. Snappdf runs entirely in your browser; there is nothing to download or install. The optional Chrome extension adds one-click access to PDFs you encounter on the web.
