The decrypted file is downloaded as a new PDF — the original is not modified.
How it works
This tool uses pdf.js to open the encrypted PDF in-browser with the password you provide, renders each page to a canvas at 2× resolution, then uses pdf-lib to reassemble the pages into a new, unprotected PDF.
Because the output is rasterised from canvas, text is rendered as image content. Layout and appearance are preserved visually, but the resulting file is not text-searchable.
All processing happens in your browser. Your file and password never leave the page.
