About this tool

If a PDF won't open or shows an error, it may be recoverable. The file's structure is rebuilt, and every page that can be read is saved into a healthy new PDF.

Common questions

Can every PDF be repaired?

No. Files damaged by interrupted downloads often recover well, but a badly damaged file may only partly recover.

Why did my PDF get damaged?

It's commonly caused by an interrupted download, a failed save, or a storage problem.

Is it free to use?

Yes. You can use it without an account a few times a day, and a free account raises the daily limit. Nothing is added to your file unless you ask for it.

What happens to my files?

Your files are only used to run the tool you chose, and they're deleted automatically after about 24 hours.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It all works in your browser, on any computer or phone.
