AK Smarts PDF

Unlock PDF

Save a copy of a PDF without its password.

Choose PDF file or drop files here

Bank statements, salary slips and e-statements often come protected with a password such as your date of birth or customer ID. Unlock PDF removes the password, and any printing or copying restrictions, so you don’t have to type it every time.

You need to know the password; this tool does not crack passwords. The file is processed on your device.

How to unlock PDF

  1. Choose the protected PDF.
  2. Type its password.
  3. Click Unlock and download the copy without a password.

Features

Private by design

Most online PDF sites upload your file to their server. AK Smarts PDF opens and processes it inside your own browser, on your computer or phone, so salary slips, bank statements, Aadhaar and PAN copies, and contracts never leave your device. It works on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, and you can install it like an app to open PDFs with a double-click.

Questions

Can you unlock a PDF without the password?

No. You need the password to open it. Restrictions on printing or copying can be removed if the file opens without a password.

What is my bank statement password?

Banks usually use a combination of your name, date of birth or customer ID; check the email that came with the statement.

Is it legal?

Yes, for documents you own or are allowed to use.

Is AK Smarts PDF safe for confidential files?

Yes. Files are opened and processed on your own computer or phone and are never uploaded to our server. Only e-Sign sends a short fingerprint of the document, never the document itself.

Does Unlock PDF work on my phone?

Yes. AK Smarts PDF works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac. You can also install it like an app.
