In short
EnDocs AI removes password protection from a PDF when you provide the correct password, and saves an unencrypted copy that opens without a prompt. It does not guess or crack passwords.
What it is
What is Unlock PDF?
Unlocking a PDF decrypts it and saves a copy with no password. It is for files that belong to you or that you are allowed to open, where the password has become a nuisance for everyday use.
The password is required. If it is missing or wrong, the file stays locked and you are told.
Try saying
“Unlock this PDF. The password is "Blue-Harbour-42".”

Behind the scenes
How your file is processed
Decrypted with your password
The file is opened with the password you provide and saved again without encryption.
Wrong password means no output
If the password is incorrect, nothing is produced and you are asked to try again.
Content stays as it was
Only the encryption is removed. Pages, text and images are unchanged.
Your file stays yours
- Files are deleted automatically about 60 minutes after upload, when your guest session ends.
- Names, numbers, emails and addresses are swapped for placeholders before text reaches an AI model, then restored in the reply.
- No account is created. Your guest session is the only thing that identifies your files.
