Banks, insurers and many institutions send password-protected PDFs. Typing the password on every open is tiring, and tools for merging or signing ask for it too. The simplest way to remove a PDF password is to enter it once and save an unlocked copy.

Steps to remove a PDF password
- 1Open quillo.tr/unlock-pdf.
- 2Choose the protected PDF or drop it on the page.
- 3Type the document's password.
- 4Press Remove password; the unlocked copy downloads to your device.
What if I don't know the password?
This tool does not crack or guess passwords; you need to know it. Bank statements often use part of your ID number or date of birth, and the email that came with the statement usually says which. If you can't find it, ask the sender.
What you can do with the unlocked copy
Combine it with other files at quillo.tr/merge-pdf, sign it at quillo.tr/sign-pdf or listen to it in the app. To protect it again before sending, set a new password at quillo.tr/protect-pdf.
Frequently asked questions
- Is removing a PDF password legal?
- Unlocking your own document, or one whose password was given to you, is fine. Don't use the tool on documents that belong to someone else.
- Is my password sent anywhere?
- No. The password and the file are processed in your browser on your own device; nothing goes to servers.
- Does the app open protected PDFs?
- Yes. The app asks for the password and then reads the document aloud.
