Repair PDF

Try to recover a damaged PDF by rebuilding its structure.

When a PDF refuses to open — “file is damaged”, endless loading, blank pages — the content is usually intact and only the file's internal index is broken. This tool rebuilds the document structure from whatever can be read, producing a clean file that opens normally.

Repair can't resurrect data that was truly destroyed (a half-downloaded file is half a file), but for the common cases — interrupted saves, email mangling, buggy generators — recovery rates are high.

How it works

  1. 1Select or drag in your files
  2. 2Choose your options and click “Repair PDF”
  3. 3Download the result — server files are deleted within an hour

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of damage can be fixed?

Broken cross-reference tables, malformed objects, and structural errors from interrupted saves or buggy PDF generators — the most common reasons a PDF won't open.

Can it recover a partially downloaded PDF?

Sometimes partially — pages contained in the portion you have can often be recovered, but data that never arrived can't be reconstructed.

Will the repaired PDF look the same?

Yes, for all recoverable pages. The rebuild preserves page content; it repairs the file's skeleton rather than redrawing pages.

How long does my broken file stay on the server?

It's encrypted in transit, stored under a random ID, and deleted automatically within 1 hour.
