SmartDecrypt PDF ZIP
Auto-unlock PDF & archives
Drop encrypted files. SmartDecrypt finds the right saved password automatically.
What is SmartDecrypt?
SmartDecrypt helps you unlock password-protected PDFs and archives without hunting through notes, messages, or old emails for the right password.
Save a pattern once — such as a bank statement or invoice filename format — and SmartDecrypt matches future files automatically and decrypts them instantly, no prompts needed.
Available as a universal purchase for both iPhone/iPad and Mac. Buy once, use on all your Apple devices with the same Apple ID.

Smart Pattern Matching
Define a pattern once based on a filename prefix, suffix, or keyword. SmartDecrypt remembers it and automatically applies the right password to every matching file — no manual selection required.

Windows PC

- Batch processing — select multiple files at once and decrypt them in a single operation
- Interactive prompts — if a file doesn’t match a saved pattern, a clean GUI prompts for the password and offers to save it as a new profile
Security
- Passwords stored in platform-native secure storage — Keychain on Apple, Windows Credential Manager on PC — never in plain text
- All decryption runs locally on your device — your files are never uploaded
- Non-destructive PDF unlocking: the original is preserved as
