💡 What Causes PDF Corruption?

PDF files can become corrupted due to various reasons including incomplete downloads, virus infections, software crashes during file creation, storage device errors, or transmission errors. A corrupted PDF may fail to open, display error messages, show blank pages, or have missing content.

Our free PDF repair tool attempts to fix these issues by analyzing the PDF structure, identifying corrupted sections, and reconstructing the file. While not all PDFs can be fully recovered (especially if data is completely lost), our tool successfully repairs many common corruption issues. All processing happens locally in your browser for complete privacy and security.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this PDF repair tool completely free?

Yes, 100% free with no hidden costs, file limits, or registration required. Repair unlimited corrupted PDFs.

Are my corrupted PDFs uploaded to your servers?

No, absolutely not. All repair attempts happen locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Can this tool repair all corrupted PDFs?

While we can repair many common PDF corruption issues, success depends on the extent of damage. Severely corrupted files with complete data loss may not be fully recoverable. The tool will attempt repair and show results.

How long does PDF repair take?

Repair time depends on file size and corruption severity. Small PDFs (under 5MB) typically repair in 5-15 seconds. Larger files may take 30-60 seconds. Processing happens on your device.

Will the repaired PDF look exactly like the original?

The tool attempts to preserve all content and formatting. However, severely damaged sections may be lost or reformatted. The repaired PDF should contain all recoverable content from the original file.

What types of PDF corruption can be fixed?

The tool can fix broken file headers, corrupted page structures, incomplete file markers, damaged cross-reference tables, and other structural issues. It works best with PDFs that have minor to moderate corruption.

Can I use this tool on mobile devices?

Yes, the PDF repair tool works on smartphones and tablets. However, processing may be slower on mobile devices compared to desktop computers due to limited processing power.

What should I do if repair fails?

If repair fails, the PDF may be too severely damaged. Try: (1) Re-downloading the file if it came from the internet, (2) Requesting a new copy from the sender, (3) Checking if you have a backup copy, or (4) Using specialized PDF recovery software.

Is there a file size limit?

While there’s no strict limit, very large files (over 50MB) may be slow to process. For optimal performance, we recommend files under 20MB. You can try splitting large PDFs before repair.

Does this work with password-protected PDFs?

No, encrypted or password-protected PDFs cannot be repaired without the password. You’ll need to unlock the PDF first using your PDF viewer’s security settings before attempting repair.
