How to use Repair PDF

  1. Press Select damaged PDF.
  2. Press Repair PDF.
  3. Download the repaired copy – your original is not changed.

Two repair steps

  1. Rebuild: the PDF is read in a forgiving way, every page is copied into a fresh, clean file and saved with a new structure. Text, pictures and links stay.
  2. Rescue: if the structure is too damaged, every page that can still be displayed is saved as a high-quality picture in a new PDF.

A file that was only partly downloaded may be missing its last pages – in that case download it again if you can.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?
Yes – free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Can every PDF be repaired?
Not always. If the data itself is missing (for example a download that stopped halfway), only the pages that exist can be rescued.
Is my original file changed?
No. You get a new file called “…_repaired.pdf”.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is opened and converted inside your browser on your own phone or computer and is never sent to our server.
