Recover a PDF that won’t open

A PDF can break when a download stops halfway, a disk fails or an app writes the file badly. Repair PDF rebuilds the file’s internal index and recovers every page that can still be read, so you get a working document back. Nothing is uploaded — the repair runs on your device.

  • Your files stay on your device

    Repair PDF runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded — not the file, not even its name.

  • Free, with no sign-up

    No account, no watermark on your files and no daily limit for normal use.

  • Files up to 100 MB

    Large or scanned files are fine — they simply take a little longer.

  • Works on every device

    Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, in any modern browser. Nothing to install.
