Decrypt File

Decrypt files created by the Encrypt File tool on this site. Choose the encrypted file, enter the same password, and download the recovered file.

1. Select the encrypted .encr file.
2. Enter the password used during encryption.
3. Click Decrypt File to download the original file.

• Files created by the Encrypt File tool.
• Original formats including PDFs, images, documents, or archives.
• Older .encrypted files and earlier .encr versions remain readable.
• Current files authenticate the stored filename and media type; treat metadata restored from older files cautiously.

Most failures are caused by a wrong password or an unsupported file.

• Incorrect password: Use the exact password from encryption.
• Wrong file type: Only files encrypted by this tool are supported.
• Corrupted file: Re-download the encrypted file and try again.

If the file still will not open, try encrypting the original file again with the Encrypt File tool and then decrypt the new file.

# Decrypt a file made by the matching OpenSSL recipe
openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 100000 -md sha256 \ -in output.openssl-aes -out output.pdf

This command expects OpenSSL enc output, not a .encr file from this page. The formats are not interchangeable. For OpenSSL data, use the OpenSSL AES Decrypt Checker or review the OpenSSL decryption guide before changing settings.
