Repair a broken .pptx presentation.
Upload a .pptx that won't open and see what's still recoverable inside it — the slide count, an approximate word count, and a short excerpt of recovered slide text. Read the summary first; pay a one-time $14 only if it shows what you need.
Free preview — pay only if you download ($14)

There's nothing to repair. If it still looks broken, the issue may be the player, codec, or viewer on your device rather than the file itself.
We couldn't recover this one.
The file is too damaged to rebuild, so there is nothing to preview and no charge.
Have another clip from the same device?
A healthy video recorded on the same device — ideally the same settings — gives the repair engine a template to rebuild from. It can unlock repairs that fail on their own.
Unrepaired files are kept encrypted for up to 30 days, then deleted.
FileFix can't fix that kind of file yet.
Right now we repair video, audio, document, and image files (MP4, MOV, M4V, MKV, AVI, TS, MTS, M2TS, MPG, MPEG, VOB, 3GP, WebM, FLV, M4A, WAV, MP3, AAC, FLAC, OGG, AIFF, XLSX, DOCX, PPTX, ODT, ZIP, PDF, AI, HEIC, and HEIF). We're adding support for more formats over time.

Why this happens
A .pptx is a ZIP package holding one XML part per slide, plus the content-types list and relationship files that tell PowerPoint how those parts fit together. Damage to the wrapper is enough to make every slide unreachable, even when the slide XML is untouched.
That is why a presentation can be the right size, sit on disk looking healthy, and still open nowhere. The bytes are there; the index that finds them is not.
FileFix rebuilds the index. It scans the local ZIP records, recovers the slide parts that parse, regenerates the content types and relationships, and validates the result by reopening it. What you see in the summary comes from that rebuilt file, not from the damaged original.
What we can and can't recover
We can usually fix
- Presentations that show "PowerPoint found a problem with content"
- Presentations PowerPoint offers to repair and then fails on
- Presentations cut off mid-save or mid-transfer
- Files whose first bytes were wiped, so nothing will open them
We can't fix
- Password-protected/encrypted presentations
- Genuinely empty (0-byte) files
- Deleted or formatted files (that's data recovery, a different job)
- The old binary .ppt format (this repair is for .pptx)
How it works
-
Upload Drop the file in. It uploads over an encrypted connection. The repair runs automatically — no person looks at your file.
-
Free Watermarked Preview You see exactly what we recovered — the slide count, an approximate word count, and a short excerpt of recovered slide text.
-
Pay & Download If the summary shows what you need, unlock the repaired presentation for a one-time $14.
You see a recovery summary built from your actual file before you decide anything — so you never guess.

Questions
A .pptx is a ZIP package. Its slide XML may still be present while a damaged index, content-types record, or relationship file prevents PowerPoint from finding those slides.
FileFix scans surviving package records, recovers slide parts it can parse, regenerates the package records needed to connect them, and validates the rebuilt presentation.
Not necessarily. The summary describes slides and text recovered from the rebuilt file and does not imply that absent images, layouts, animations, or speaker notes were recreated.
A one-time $14 — and only if the repair works. Seeing what was recovered is free, and checkout is only offered when the engine produces a validated repaired file.
