Frequently asked questions
Can this tool fix any corrupted PDF?
It can recover many lightly damaged files — truncated cross-reference tables, minor structural errors — but it cannot recover a file that has been overwritten or heavily corrupted beyond recognition.
Why did my PDF get corrupted?
Common causes include an interrupted download or transfer, a failed save, storage errors, or an encoding problem in the creating application.
Is my file sent to a server for repair?
No. The repair attempt happens entirely in your browser on your own device.
What should I do if repair fails?
Check whether you have a backup copy. If the file was emailed or cloud-synced, try re-downloading it from the source — the local copy may be the only corrupt one.
