FileFix

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.

You preview before you pay. If the download is materially worse than the preview you approved, we'll refund you.

Good news — your file isn't damaged. No charge.

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.

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.

We store just your email and the file type — never the file itself. One message, when it's ready. No spam.

Something went wrong.

The request could not be completed.

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

  1. Upload Drop the file in. It uploads over an encrypted connection. The repair runs automatically — no person looks at your file.
  2. Free Watermarked Preview You see exactly what we recovered — the slide count, an approximate word count, and a short excerpt of recovered slide text.
  3. 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.
