FAQ

What kinds of damage can be repaired?

Broken cross-reference tables, wrong object offsets, structural inconsistencies and trailing garbage — the most common corruptions from interrupted downloads or faulty converters.

What if the file is truncated (cut off mid-download)?

If the file lost its structure tables entirely, recovery may be impossible client-side — you'll get a clear error instead of a broken file. Repair fixes broken offsets and cross-reference tables fully; for truncation, re-download or re-export the original.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The repair engine (qpdf compiled to WebAssembly) runs entirely on your device.

Will the repaired file look identical?

Content is preserved; internal structure is rebuilt, which sometimes makes the file even smaller.
