Frequently asked questions
What kinds of damage can be repaired?
Broken internal structure — corrupted page tables, truncated downloads, files cut off mid-transfer. We rebuild the skeleton of the file and recover the readable content.
Can every damaged PDF be fixed?
Honestly, no. If the actual page data is destroyed, no tool can invent it back. But structural damage — the most common kind — usually recovers well, and it costs nothing to try.
Is repairing a PDF free?
Yes — free with no account. Daily limits apply to keep the service fast for everyone.
What happens to my file afterwards?
Your damaged file and the repaired copy are deleted from our servers automatically within 2 hours. We never read or share your documents.
