Remove Password open in OneMacApp, with its settings in the inspector.
How it works

Three steps. Nothing to learn.

Open Remove Password from the launcher with ⌃⌥Space, or from the menu bar.

  1. 1

    Drop your PDF

    Add the protected PDF you want to open freely. It needs to be a document you own or are allowed to unlock.

  2. 2

    Enter its password

    Type the password you use to open it. If the file opens without one, you can leave the field empty.

  3. 3

    Press Remove Password

    An unlocked copy lands in a dated OneMacApp folder in Downloads. The protected original stays as it was.

The details

Everything you’d want. Nothing you wouldn’t.

  • Open once, not every time

    The unlocked copy opens in any PDF reader without asking, which helps with statements and records you read often.

  • Ready for other tools

    Locked PDFs cannot be merged, split or compressed. Unlock first, then use any other PDF tool on the copy.

  • Clear when it is wrong

    If the password does not match, OneMacApp tells you which file it could not open instead of failing quietly.

  • Stays on your Mac

    The password and the document never leave your computer. Nothing is uploaded to unlock it.

Open Remove Password, drop in the PDF, type its password in the inspector and press Remove Password. The unlocked copy is saved in a new folder in Downloads.

Leave the password field empty. OneMacApp saves a fresh copy of every page without the original file’s protection.

Yes, as long as they use the same password. One password is applied to the whole batch.

No. The protected PDF stays exactly as it was. You get a separate unlocked copy.
