About PDF Decryptor
Password prompts get tiresome when you own a PDF and open it every day. If you already know the password and want to remove that hurdle, you do not need the original creator or special software. This decryptor unlocks an encrypted PDF so it opens freely from then on.
Upload the protected file, enter the correct password, and the tool produces an unlocked copy you can read without typing the password again. It works in your browser, free of charge, with no signup and no watermark. Your file and the password you supply are used only to perform the unlock, and nothing is retained afterward.

FAQ
Do I need the original password to decrypt?
Yes. This tool only removes protection when you supply the correct password. It is not a way to bypass passwords you do not know.
Why won't it unlock my file?
The most common reason is an incorrect password. Double-check for typos or capitalization, since passwords are case-sensitive.
Is the decrypted file readable everywhere?
Yes, the unlocked copy opens in any PDF reader without prompting for a password.
