Choose the locked PDF, type its password and tap Unlock PDF. You get a copy that opens without a password. For e-Aadhaar, the password is the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITALS followed by your birth year (for example RAHU1998).
Getting documents right for online forms
- Check the exact limit first. Portals state the format (PDF or JPG) and a maximum size such as 100 KB, 200 KB or 1 MB. A file even 1 KB over is rejected.
- Scan at 150–200 DPI. That is sharp enough to read and keeps files small. 600 DPI scans only make files bigger.
- Upload only the pages asked for. Remove blank or extra pages with Organise PDF before compressing.
- Password-protected PDFs (for example e-Aadhaar or bank statements) must be opened and saved without a password before most portals — and these tools — can use them.
- Name files clearly, e.g.
10th_marksheet.pdf, and open the final file once to check every page is readable.

FAQs
Can this unlock a PDF without the password?
No. You must know the password — this tool removes it from a document you already have access to, such as your own e-Aadhaar or bank statement.
What is the e-Aadhaar PDF password?
The first 4 letters of your name (as on Aadhaar) in CAPITAL letters, followed by your year of birth — e.g. RAHU1998.
Why is the unlocked PDF larger?
Pages are re-saved as images to remove the protection. Use Compress PDF to bring it under your portal's limit.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your files never leave your phone or computer, so they stay private.
