Frequently asked questions

How does the repair work?

Ghostscript re-parses whatever it can salvage from the damaged file and writes a fresh, standards-compliant PDF from it — all on your device.

Can every broken PDF be fixed?

No. If the file is truncated, pages past the damage may be gone; if the header or core structures are destroyed, nothing can be recovered. We'll tell you how many pages were recovered.

Is my broken file uploaded for repair?

No — like every KeepItLocally tool, repair runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
