Free, no sign-up. It runs inside your browser: your files never leave your device.

Repair a damaged PDF that will not open properly. The tool reads what it can and writes a fresh copy of the file.

Questions

Can every broken PDF be fixed?

Not always. If a file is too damaged to read, the file list shows a problem and it cannot be repaired here.

Are there any settings?

No. Add the files and click Repair PDF.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The repair runs on your device. It is free with no sign-up.
