What can I do when a PDF will not open?
Drop it in: the internal structure is rebuilt from whatever is still readable. A file truncated by an interrupted transfer, or with a damaged index table, is often fully recovered.
Repair PDF
Recover a damaged file that no reader will open any more.
An interrupted download, a USB stick pulled out too soon, a program that stopped mid-write: the file is there but its reference table is broken. Repair rebuilds that structure from whatever content is still readable, and tells you what was wrong.

Common questions
What happens to my file afterwards?
This tool needs a machine: your file is sent to our servers in Europe, processed, then deleted automatically. We keep no copy and we do not read it.
Can everything be recovered?
Not always, and we say so plainly. If pages were lost at write time, they are nowhere and nothing will bring them back. The diagnosis tells you what could be saved.
