FAQ

Is it safe to unlock an Aadhaar or bank statement PDF here?

The PDF is unlocked inside your browser. The file and the password are not uploaded, so they never leave your phone or computer.

What is the password for an e-Aadhaar PDF?

UIDAI sets it to the first four letters of your name in capitals followed by your year of birth, for example RAVI1990.

What is the password for an e-PAN or bank statement?

An e-PAN usually opens with your date of birth as DDMMYYYY. Banks state the rule in the email that carries the statement, often part of your name, date of birth, account number or customer ID.

Can this open a PDF when I do not know the password?

No. This tool removes a password you already know. It does not guess or break passwords.

Is there a size limit?

A PDF can be up to 150 MB on a computer or 100 MB on a phone. There is no daily limit.

Why would I remove the password?

Many job, loan, visa and government portals reject password-protected PDFs. An open copy uploads without the error.
