A password-protected PDF is inconvenient when you need to open it repeatedly, share it with a team, or archive it long-term. Removing the password once you have the authorisation to do so makes the file easier to work with without changing any of the content. want2convert removes the password entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
How it works: The tool uses pdf-lib to load your encrypted PDF using the password you provide. Once decrypted in memory, the document is saved without re-applying any encryption, producing a clean, unprotected PDF.
Legal note: Only remove passwords from PDFs you own or have explicit permission to decrypt. Bypassing access controls on documents you do not have authorisation to open may be unlawful.
