About this tool
This tool requires the correct password. It does not crack or bypass passwords. It supports the standard RC4 and AES encryption used by Acrobat, Word, banks and statement systems. Removing protection from documents you don’t have rights to may break the law or terms of service.
Frequently asked questions
Can it unlock a PDF without the password?
No. You need the password to open the file. For owner-only restrictions (no password to open), leave the box empty and try.
Why does it say wrong password?
Check caps lock and any spaces. Bank statements often use a date of birth or account digits as the password.
Is the unlocked file the same quality?
Yes. Content is decrypted and saved unchanged.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. ConvertBrightly processes files with JavaScript inside your browser. Nothing is sent over the network, and the files disappear when you close the tab. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
