Bank statements often use your date of birth or part of your account or card number.

ℹ️ Good to know

  • You need the password. This tool decrypts files you're allowed to open; it doesn't guess or crack passwords.
  • Permission-only locks (opens fine but blocks printing or copying) usually unlock with the password left blank.
  • Private by design. Decryption runs in your browser; the file and password never leave your device.
  • Re-protect later with the free Protect PDF tool if you need to send it securely.

Stop typing the same password

Banks, telecom providers and payroll systems send statements locked with your date of birth or account number. If you're archiving them or sending them to your accountant, an unlocked copy saves everyone the hassle.

For files you're entitled to open

This tool decrypts a PDF using the password you provide — it does not crack or guess passwords. Only unlock documents you own or have permission to share.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?

No. Every PDF tool on Pyalm runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your files are read, processed and saved on your own device and are never sent to us or anyone else. That makes them safe for contracts, invoices and ID documents.

Can it unlock a PDF without the password?

If the file has only a permissions (owner) password — it opens without a prompt but blocks printing or copying — try leaving the password blank. If it asks for a password to open, you must enter it; the tool does not crack passwords.

Is the unlocked file identical?

Yes. Content, pages and quality are unchanged; only the encryption is removed.
