Repair PDF

The tool uses FPDI to open the source file and read its page structure. Rather than trying to fix the file in place, it walks through the document page by page, importing each one as a template into a brand-new PDF.

Pages that are readable are copied across intact, preserving their original size and orientation; if an individual page's internal structure is too corrupted to import, that specific page is skipped and logged, while the rest of the document continues to be recovered.

The response reports exactly how many pages were successfully recovered versus how many failed, so you know upfront whether the repair was complete or partial before you rely on the output file.

Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (SSL) connection. We don't store, read, or share the contents of your files — they're processed to generate your result and are not retained on our servers afterward.

• Recovering a PDF that won't open after an incomplete download or a corrupted file transfer.
• Fixing a PDF that displays garbled content or won't render correctly in some viewers.
• Salvaging an old file that has become partially corrupted in storage.

• Assuming every corrupted file is fully recoverable — repair can often restore a file to a usable state, but severely damaged files may only be partially recoverable.
• Not keeping the damaged original — if repair doesn't fully succeed, having the original preserved means you can try a different recovery approach.

• If you have the source the PDF was created from (a Word doc, a scan), regenerating the PDF from scratch is often more reliable than repairing a badly damaged file.

We respect your privacy. All files are processed securely and are never sold, shared, or used for anything beyond generating your result.
