The online service for repairing corrupt Adobe Illustrator AI files is a convenient alternative to the specialized Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator software, which is designed exclusively for Windows. Why is an online solution for fixing AI files preferable?

  • First of all, the online Illustrator recovery service works on absolutely all modern devices: a computer, laptop, tablet, or even a cell phone. The only thing that is required is the presence of a modern browser. This allows the user to quickly recover a damaged Illustrator file anytime and from anywhere.
  • Secondly, Illustrator's corrupted file recovery service is independent of the operating system. It doesn't matter whether you use Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, or any other platform—online recovery will work correctly in the latest browsers. This is especially convenient for users of Apple devices and Android mobile platforms, where traditional Windows software is not available.
  • The third advantage is the ease of use. The online version of Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator requires far fewer steps to recover an AI file than traditional software. Usually, you need to download, install, and configure the program, and only then recover the damaged AI file.
  • The fourth advantage is that the online service for recovering incorrect Illustrator files does not require additional installation. Users no longer need to download additional software, which saves time and disk space on the device.
  • Finally, the online version has a lower cost of ownership. The price of recovering a file up to 1 GB is only $10, which is much more cost-effective than the $27 Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator Personal License.

An archive of Illustrator+PDF files was sent instead of one Illustrator file.
The Illustrator file would not open.
The PDF file opened and contained the lost project. I had to convert PDF -> Illustrator via Adobe Acrobat.
Why can't the service convert PDF -> Illustrator right away?

Francesca Day 03-22-2021

Unfortunately, the repaired file is the result of a previous versions of the file. As support explained, they did not see the new elements that I named them. It looks like Adobe Illustrator tried to save the changes, but could not and simply broke the file.

Hoydenism 02-08-2021

The once previously saved work file began to open slowly due to its large size. Adobe still cannot fix this error when the file grows due to different properties of the elements. Have to resort to a fix to clean up the garbage in the .ai file.

Kylo Keaton 01-13-2021

Attention! It is advisable to install the latest version of Adobe Illustrator. I ran into a problem when my computer was infected with a virus that corrupts all files.
After repairing, I was unable to open the file as I had the Illustrator CS4 version. Technical support asked to update Illustrator to a more recent version, since they already had my file open. If you are using an old version of AI, then it is advisable to update it.

Fixed a bug in the file "Unknown file format" Adobe Illustrator. If not for Youtube, I probably would not have been able to get the rest of the picture from the PDF. By the way, to get the rest of the drawing, you do not need to use Adobe Acrobat, you can import ALL pages of the .PDF file into Illustrator.

Emily Howard 12-15-2020

At the first stage of the program, I indicated the path to the damaged file.
At the second stage, the recovery process began.
At the third stage, I saved the corrected file.
You make a program so convenient that even I figured it out.

If your drawing grows into a huge drawing that weighs more than 800MB, then soon you will receive an error: "unreadable format" when you opens the .ai file again.
I expected the file to be corrupted, but forgot to make a backup for the last changes. As a result, today I received my "surprise", the file was damaged. I have fixed the file before, but today I encountered the fact that the repaired file was split into .ai, .pdf. I didn't know that you can get elements in vector format from PDF.

August Grayson 08-01-2020

I was surprised that even the autosaved drawing broke after Illustrator CS5 crashed. I can't say anything about the program, but if it works the same way as online repair (although there may be a difference, since the price is different), then it was difficult for me to deliver parts of the image from PDF.

BunkhrinBamboo 07-15-2020

Is it possible to completely repair my damaged drawing? In the trial version of the application, the file is fixed, but part of the vector graphics is missing there. Please tell me, if I saved without compatible with PDF, will the program be able to recover the rest of the elements? Judging by the comments, the program restores part of drawing in PDF format, I would like to get an answer.

Telarian 06-29-2020

My file was saved with errors, because of which this one stopped opening. The program helped to restore the previously saved version of the file, but shadows for the texts has been deleted

Cenobite 06-15-2020

Adobe Illustrator say that "file is damaged", and it could not be opened. After I get recovered file .AI and .PDF, I was confused because I have not Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat program on my PC. I had to use a third-party service to convert .PDF to .AI, because .PDF file was large then .AI. P.S Some elements are restored as separate layers during convert

The Illustrator file recovery utility does its job, but be prepared that after fixing, in your project some vector elements will change in size. In my project, the sizes of some elements were different from the original size, and some fonts became standard. My file was damaged with the eternal problem of Adobe Illustrator when saving, in the end I managed to recover at least some part.

Trippines 04-13-2020

I recovered the Illustrator document from the cache, but when I open the file, I get the error message "The file is damaged and cannot be repaired." The error appeared after I tried to save the .AI file and Adobe Illustrator crashed. The program can restore drawing, but if you want to restore Post Script, you also need to install Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. It would be better if the .PS, .EPS or .PDF file was converted automatically.

Velleweek 03-02-2020

When I try to open the .AI file, Adobe Illustrator crashes. Other files open normally, but this damaged file causes the program to crash. The old version of AI also wont open this file. If I try to fix the Illustrator file with your program and it wont to open, can I get a refund? P.S > In the demo, I see my recovered file, but still please reply.

AlfredHitchcock 02-17-2020

I received a “file is corrupt and cannot be restored” error in a file that I have been working on for a long time.
Everything went wrong and I could not open the file. Thanks to the developers for this tool for repairing a damaged .ai document, with the help of which I was able to recover part of my damaged work.
Perhaps all the effects and many other things will be expanded in the same way as mine, but it will save you time.

Ryan 01-14-2020

Was working on a low-poly self portrait for UCLA when my computer shut down. File was damaged and not able to be recovered by illustrator. Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator online tool recovered the file and all of its components. Very grateful, and they did a great job! Will recommend to anyone else in the design space that needs files recovered!

Domi 04-01-2019

I'm impressed. I had a blue screen of death while saving a very complicated illustration. The situation was strange because the laptop was serviced three months ago and this should not happen. Unfortunately, the illustrator's file was damaged and I could not get help anywhere, the program did not make a copy even though it normally saves files when there is a sudden closing of the program. Data recovery took some time, but it was worth it. Thanks a lot!

Stive 06-29-2018

My project from Illustrator CC was repaired in 2 versions: .ai + .pdf files. Thanks!!!

FRENCIS 06-29-2018

Tool resolved old problem with corrupted .ai files. Now I can see on my pictures everyday.
Application doesn't support all version of adobe Illustrator.
A good application if you have a lot of images, drawings on the PC. Once they can be lost and tool must help you to get data back.

Program started working under my weak machine. A little issue with starting tool after long working.
