Repair a PDF

Rebuild a corrupted PDF structure, or re-render every page so the content is readable again.

How it works

  • Automatic tries the least destructive fix first: rebuild the PDF structure and re-save it. Text stays selectable.
  • If the pages cannot be parsed, the file is re-rendered page by page into a brand-new PDF (images instead of text) so at least the content is readable.
  • A repair fixes the file, not the content: missing pages or images that were never written to disk cannot be recovered.
  • Always keep the original file — the repaired copy is written alongside it as a new download.
