How to repair a PDF

  1. Add the PDF that won't open or displays incorrectly.
  2. Ara PDF diagnoses the file, then tries three methods, from the most faithful to the most robust.
  3. Download the repaired PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can every PDF be repaired?

Not always: if part of the file is missing (interrupted download), only the intact pages can be recovered.

Is the text kept?

Yes, as far as possible. As a last resort, pages are recovered as high-resolution images with the text kept.

Is it free?

Yes, free and without sign-up, with no file limit and no watermark added.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Processing happens entirely in your browser, on your device. No file is uploaded: it's faster and your documents stay private.
