Quikbench
Remove password protection from a PDF, right here in your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded to a server — open your network tab if you don't believe it.
Add a password-protected PDF, enter its current password, and get back a new PDF with no password required to open it.
Every tool on Quikbench follows the same rule: your files are read, converted, and turned into a download entirely inside this browser tab — nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
Reads your locked PDF locally using pdf.js, renders each page to a canvas at high resolution, then rebuilds a brand new PDF from those page images with jsPDF — with no password required to open it. Nothing is uploaded.
Add your protected PDF and enter its current password. The tool decrypts the file locally, renders every page, and rebuilds them into a fresh PDF with no password required to open it — ready to share or archive without needing to type a password again.
This tool only removes protection. If you want to add a new password to a PDF instead, use Protect PDF.
Because everything runs in your browser without a server-side PDF library that can rewrite encryption directly, this tool re-renders each page to a high-resolution image before rebuilding the PDF. That means visual quality stays sharp, but text in the output is no longer selectable or searchable — the pages are images, not text layers. If you need to keep selectable text and only need to reorder or extract pages, try Split PDF or Rearrange PDF Pages instead, which copy the original page objects directly.
This tool can only remove a password when you already know the PDF's current password — it isn't a password-cracking tool, and it can't recover or guess a password you've lost. If you don't know the current password, you'll need to find it or contact whoever created the file.
Yes. This tool can unlock a file you can already open — it isn't a password-recovery or password-cracking tool, and it can't unlock a file if you don't know its current password.
No — because everything runs locally without a server, unlocking works by rendering each page to an image and rebuilding the PDF from those images. Visual quality is preserved, but text is no longer selectable or searchable in the output.
No. The file is read and processed entirely inside your browser tab using pdf.js and jsPDF. Nothing — not the file, not any password you type — is sent to a server.
Not on this page — this tool only removes protection. To lock a PDF with a new password, use the Protect PDF tool instead.
There's no hard limit, but since every page is rendered to a high-resolution image in your browser, very large or long PDFs will take longer and use more of your device's memory.
