Decrypt a PDF with Its Password

Runs 100% in your browser — your files never leave your device.

If you own or are authorized to use an encrypted PDF and know its open password, this page can produce a password-free copy for easier access. Decryption and page rebuilding happen locally; metadata, annotations, or interactive form fields can be lost in the rebuilt output.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose the encrypted PDF

    Only process a file you are permitted to decrypt.

  2. 2

    Supply the known password

    The browser uses it to open the source document.

  3. 3

    Save and review the decrypted copy

    Page content remains, but metadata and forms may be omitted.
