FAQ
Everything you need to know about the Repair PDF.
Can all corrupted PDFs be repaired?
While we can fix many common structural issues (like broken xref tables), severely truncated or completely overwritten files may not be fully recoverable.
How does the repair process work?
The tool scans the raw byte structure of the file, identifies valid PDF objects, and reconstructs the necessary reference tables to make it readable again.
Are my broken files uploaded to a server?
No. The entire analysis and repair process happens locally in your web browser. Your data remains strictly on your device.
Will I lose data during repair?
The tool attempts to recover as much as possible. In some cases, severely damaged pages or images may be skipped to allow the rest of the document to open.
Is this repair tool free?
Yes, you can attempt to repair your damaged PDF files completely free of charge.
Can this fix a PDF that was corrupted by a virus or ransomware?
Ransomware-encrypted files are not corrupt PDFs — they are AES-encrypted binary data disguised as PDFs. No PDF repair tool can recover these without the encryption key. For ransomware recovery, consult a data recovery specialist or law enforcement. This tool is for structurally corrupted but otherwise intact PDFs.
