Questions
Can every broken PDF be recovered?
No. Repair fixes structural damage such as a broken index or malformed objects. If part of the file is genuinely missing or truncated, that content cannot be invented.
Could I lose anything in the rebuild?
Text and pages normally survive. Interactive extras such as form fields or annotations sometimes do not.
What if repair does not work?
Nothing happens to your file. It is worth trying Compress as well, since that also rewrites the document and occasionally succeeds where repair does not.
What happens to the files I upload?
Your original is deleted the moment the conversion finishes, whether it succeeded or not. The converted file stays available for 60 minutes so you can download it, then it is deleted automatically. You can also remove it instantly with the Delete file now button.
Do I need an account, and is there a watermark?
No account is needed for five conversions a day, and a free account removes that limit. Nothing is ever stamped on your document — there is no watermark on any tool, signed in or not.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Everything runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with no app or plugin to install.
