How repair works
Upload a damaged PDF. The tool first rebuilds the internal structure with pdf-lib, and if that fails, recovers each readable page as an image.
Honest limits
Severely damaged files, or PDFs encrypted with an open password, cannot always be recovered — the tool tells you honestly when it cannot help.
