Repair Corrupted DOCX Files Online — Fast & Reliable

DOCX files are actually ZIP archives containing XML data. When these files become corrupted, it's usually due to incomplete saves, software crashes, storage device errors, or interrupted file transfers.

Microsoft Word's built-in repair function often fails because it requires the entire file structure to be intact. If the ZIP container or XML documents inside are damaged, Word simply refuses to open the file.

Common corruption symptoms include: 'The file is corrupt and cannot be opened', 'Word experienced an error trying to open the file', or the file appearing to be 0 bytes despite containing data.

Our tool uses advanced recovery techniques that go beyond Word's basic repair function. We scan the file at a binary level to find and extract any readable content, even when the file structure is severely damaged.

The repair process works in multiple stages: First, we attempt standard ZIP extraction. If that fails, we reconstruct the ZIP structure manually. Finally, we scan the raw file data for text patterns and XML fragments.

You get instant results with a free preview showing exactly what we recovered. No payment required until you're satisfied with the recovery quality.
