Repair a PDF that will not open

Rebuild a damaged PDF from the pages that can still be read, so it opens again in any viewer.

Free, no account needed

How to use it

  1. Drop the broken PDF onto the page.
  2. Docurve checks it and rebuilds what it can.
  3. Preview the result and download the repaired PDF.

Why your files stay private

Most online PDF tools send your document to their server, process it there and send it back. Docurve works differently: the work happens inside your own browser, on your own phone or computer. Your files are never uploaded, so nobody else can see, keep or reuse them. That matters for the documents people handle most: contracts, payslips, ID copies, invoices and medical records.

Frequently asked questions

Can every PDF be repaired?

Not always. If pages are missing from the file itself, they cannot be recovered, but the readable pages are saved.

Why did my PDF break?

Usually an interrupted download, a full disk or an app that saved it badly.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Repair runs in your browser.
