Repair Level
Three repair levels — Standard fixes headers & cross-references. Deep Scan rebuilds object streams. Aggressive attempts maximum recovery from severely damaged files.
Selective recovery — choose exactly what to repair: pages, images, fonts, metadata, bookmarks, or enable linearization for fast web viewing.
Your file stays private — the repair process runs locally in your browser using PDF libraries. Note: Severely corrupted binary files may require backend software.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded to any server.
What types of PDF damage can be fixed?
Corrupted xref tables, broken object streams, invalid trailers, truncated files, damaged fonts and missing page trees.
What is the difference between the repair levels?
Standard fixes headers and xref tables. Deep Scan rebuilds object streams. Aggressive performs byte-level reconstruction.
Will all pages always be recovered?
Not always — recovery depends on how severely the file is damaged. The tool recovers as much data as possible. If the file is completely destroyed, a server-side tool is required.
What does Linearize Output do?
Linearization restructures the PDF so the first page loads immediately in web browsers without downloading the full file.
Is there a file size limit?
No hard limit. Files under 50 MB repair in seconds. Very large files may be slower depending on device memory.
