Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. With this tool, your file never leaves your device. Even with Google Drive or Dropbox, it comes straight from your cloud to you, without passing through us.
Can every broken PDF be saved?
No. Common damage like a broken cross-reference table or an interrupted download can usually be fixed. But no repair can bring back what is missing from the file. If nothing can be read at all, the tool tells you so.
Are there limits on file size or page count?
The main limit is your device, because that is where the work happens. Files up to 100 MB work reliably. With very large files, an older smartphone needs a little patience.
Is the tool free?
Yes. All tools on Gatefrog are free to use, with no sign-up, no installation and no watermark from us.
