Clean and repair PDF online

Upload a PDF and rebuild it with mutool clean to fix structural issues, broken cross-reference tables and unnecessary objects.

The service can recompress streams, sanitize content operations, remove encryption when the password is known and create a web-optimized PDF.

Use this tool when a PDF opens with warnings, behaves badly in editors or needs a cleaner internal structure.

Processing uses server-side mutool clean, so damaged PDFs do not need to be readable by browser libraries.
Garbage collection rebuilds PDF object tables and removes unreachable objects.
Linearization prepares the file for faster first-page loading over the web.
Password-protected PDFs can be processed when you know the password.
The original file remains unchanged; the service returns a new cleaned PDF.
If metadata should stay in the file, enable the metadata preservation option.
