Repair Excel File

Steps

  1. Upload an XLSX or XLSM file - Browser repair works on ZIP-based Excel workbooks.
  2. Run diagnostics - The tool checks required workbook parts and worksheet files.
  3. Review repair status - Healthy, repairable, limited, and unsupported statuses explain what was found.
  4. Export recovered values - When possible, save readable sheet values into a clean workbook.

Before You Start

  • Encrypted files cannot be repaired without the open password.
  • Recovered workbooks preserve values, not every chart, macro, or formatting detail.
  • For severe corruption, keep the original file and try Excel desktop recovery too.
