Bank statements, salary slips and some government PDFs come locked with a password, so you have to type it every time you open them. If you already know the password, you can remove it and save a normal, open copy. Here is how to do it safely.

💡 This only works for a PDF you can already open with the password. It cannot guess or crack an unknown password — that is not possible and not what this tool does.

How to unlock a PDF

  1. Open the Unlock PDF tool — No app or sign-up needed.
  2. Select your PDF — Choose the locked PDF from your device.
  3. Enter the password — Type the password you already use to open it.
  4. Download — You get a clean copy with no password, ready to open, print or share.

Is it safe to unlock a bank statement online?

With Unpass, yes — the PDF is unlocked on your own device and is never uploaded to any server. That matters a lot for private documents like bank statements and Aadhaar PDFs. When you close the tab, nothing remains.

Why banks lock PDF statements

Banks password-protect statements so that if the file is intercepted in email, it cannot be opened. Once you have safely downloaded it, removing the password makes it easier to use for KYC, loan applications and your own records.
