How to add and remove a password on a PDF

PDFs and documents · November 10, 2026

Putting a password on your personal documents, report cards or scanned papers when you share them is a good habit.

Adding a password

  • Open the password-protect PDF tool and pick your file.
  • Type a password of at least 4 characters. A longer, hard-to-guess password is safer.
  • Press “Convert” and download the protected file.

If you forget the password you cannot open the file. Passwords are not stored on the server; nobody can help you. Note it down somewhere.

Removing a password

  • Open the remove PDF password tool.
  • Pick your file and type the password.
  • Press “Convert”; download the PDF without a password.

This tool is only for someone who knows the password to remove the protection. It does not crack an unknown password.

Security note

Your files are kept on the server only temporarily while processing and are deleted as soon as it finishes.
