Decrypt PDF
Remove password protection from PDFs.
How to Decrypt PDF Online for Free
The Decrypt PDF tool lets you remove password protection and unlock restricted PDF files using cutting edge WebAssembly technology, entirely within your web browser. No software installation, no account creation, and no file uploads to external servers.
Unlock Password Protected PDFs
If you have a PDF that requires a password to open or has restrictions on copying, editing, or printing, the Decrypt PDF tool can help you regain full access. You will need to know the document password to unlock it. Once decrypted, you can freely copy text, print pages, fill in forms, and make annotations. This is commonly needed when you receive password protected financial statements, academic papers, or business documents where you are an authorized user but the restrictions prevent you from working efficiently with the content.
How to Use This Tool
- Select your file: Click the upload area or drag and drop your PDF file directly onto the page. The file is loaded into your browser’s memory and never leaves your device.
- Adjust your settings: Configure any available options in the tool workspace. Preview changes in real time before committing.
- Process and download: Click the action button to process your file. The result will be ready to download within seconds, saved directly to your device.
Privacy and Security
All processing happens locally on your device using WebAssembly. Your files are never uploaded to any server, which means your sensitive documents remain completely private. This is fundamentally different from most online PDF tools that require you to upload your files for server side processing. With Wexira, even your internet connection could be disconnected after the page loads, and the tool would still work perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Decrypt PDF free to use?
Yes, absolutely! Every single tool here is completely free. There are no limits, no hidden subscription costs, and you don't even have to sign up or share your email address. Just use it as much as you need.
Is it safe to decrypt pdf online?
Yes, it is 100% safe. Most online PDF tools copy your files to their servers, but we don't. We use a browser-based technology called WebAssembly to do all the heavy lifting locally on your own computer. Your files never leave your device.
What file size can I process?
Because the tools process your files directly on your computer, we don't impose any file size limits at all. The only limit is what your computer or phone can handle, meaning you can easily edit files that are 100MB or larger.
Do I need to install any software?
No, you don't need to download or install anything. All you need is a standard web browser (like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox). Just load this page, drag in your file, and you're good to go.
