About Unlock PDF
Unlock PDF is a free online tool that decrypts PDFs encrypted with WayPDF's Protect tool (AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2). All decryption happens locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API — your password and file never leave your device.
Note: This tool cannot unlock standard Adobe Reader password-protected PDFs (RC4/AES-128/AES-256 formats). It is specifically designed for the WayPDF Protect custom encryption wrapper. If you need to remove standard PDF passwords, consider using a dedicated PDF unlock tool.
Browser-based decryption ensures your file is unlocked on your own device. Your password is never transmitted over the network, and the decrypted document never leaves your local environment.
