Frequently Asked Questions
Is the damaged file uploaded?
No. The file is read, repaired and saved entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, which also means a broken file never leaves your device.
Will the repaired file look identical?
Pages keep their content and order, but the internal structure is rewritten, so interactive forms, some annotations and a few links may be dropped. Always check the result before relying on it.
The repair failed. What now?
If no parser can read the file, the content is probably gone. Try opening it in another viewer to confirm, and restore it from a backup or from the source that produced it.
