OCR PDF text search

Scans every page (including scanned/image-only pages with no selectable text) so you can search for a word or phrase.

PDF to Word

Extracts the real text where the PDF has it, and runs OCR automatically on scanned/image-only pages. Works best for simple, single-column documents — complex layouts, tables, and multi-column text won't be preserved exactly.

PDF to PowerPoint

Each page becomes one slide, rendered as a full-page image — layout, fonts, and graphics come out exactly as they look in the PDF. Runs entirely in your browser.

PDF to Excel

Reconstructs rows and columns from the PDF’s own text spacing, and runs OCR automatically on scanned/image-only pages. Works best for simple, clearly-aligned tables — free-form text near a table may get split oddly.

PDF to JPG

Each page becomes a .jpg image. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Multiple pages are zipped together for download.

HTML to PDF

PDF to HTML

Produces one self-contained .html file — an image of each page with an invisible text layer on top, so it looks exactly like the PDF but the text stays selectable, searchable (Ctrl/Cmd+F), and copyable. Runs entirely in your browser.

How to repair a corrupted PDF online

  1. Choose the PDF that won't open properly, looks broken, or throws an error elsewhere.
  2. Click Repair PDF. VitePDF first tries to rebuild the file's internal structure while keeping the text and layout fully intact.
  3. If the damage is too severe for that, it automatically falls back to recovering whatever individual pages can still be read, as images.
  4. Download the repaired file — the summary tells you exactly which kind of recovery happened, and how much was recovered.

Why use VitePDF

  • Two real recovery strategies, not just a re-save: a structural rebuild that keeps everything searchable, with a page-by-page image fallback for files too damaged for that.
  • Honest reporting — if your file was fine all along, it says so instead of pretending to have fixed something.
  • Everything happens in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of PDF damage can this fix?

Things like a partially corrupted download, a bit of data damage, or a broken/missing cross-reference table often recover cleanly with a full structural rebuild. If the file is more severely damaged, VitePDF falls back to reading whatever individual pages it still can, page by page.

Will the repaired file still have selectable text?

If the structural rebuild succeeds (the common case), yes — everything, including text, stays exactly as searchable and editable as the original. Only the page-by-page image fallback, used when the file is too damaged for that, produces pages that are images instead of text.

What if it can't be repaired at all?

VitePDF will tell you plainly rather than hand back something broken — either the file isn't a real PDF, or the damage goes deeper than any recovery approach can work around.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to 70 MB are free — Premium removes that limit entirely.
