Program for fixing broken JPEG, TIFF, PSD, ZIP files
Looking for a tool to repair JPEG or TIFF images? Want a tool that can fix common errors in the file header while rebuilding the internal structures?
File Repair™ can fix files that are corrupted or incomplete, repairing files that come out damaged after a data recovery session.
The tool can repair file headers and rebuild internal structures of many types of files. By fixing these errors, File Repair™ enables you to access those files, view and edit the images.
File Repair™ does not simply patch the file’s header and call it a day. Instead, the tool performs a comprehensive bit-level analysis of the entire content of the file, detecting and correcting all types of errors in the file system structures and content blocks.
Fixes file errors after a data recovery operation if a file does not display or open correctly. File Repair™ can extract all usable information still available in the file, rebuilding it literally from a scratch.
If a file was stored in an area on the disk containing a bad block, it may come out damaged after the recovery. File Repair™ can successfully repair such files.
File Repair™ is unique in its class, offering comprehensive analysis and complete rebuilding of information still available in a damaged file. Hetman Software tool is used by many professionals and home users around the globe.
Repairing JPEG
Repairs corrupted *.JPEG, *.JPG, *.JPE, and *.JFIF files in lossless mode. The repair is performed at block level without re-encoding the file, thus the original JPEG quality is preserved. Both main and thumbnail images are rebuilt. EXIF information is preserved.
Repairing TIFF
Repairs damaged and corrupted files in the TIFF format including *.TIFF *.TIF, *.FAX, *.G3, and *.G4. File Repair™ supports Windows and Mac TIFF images, and can successfully repair uncompressed files and TIFF images compressed with LZW, JPEG, PackBit, CCITT 1D 2, Group 3 Fax 3 and Group 4 Fax algorithms.
Repairing PNG, BMP
Repairs raster images in *.PNG, *.BMP, *.DIB, and *.RLE formats. LZ77-compressed PNG files are supported. The tool can extract BMP images from resource files. File Repair™ repairs PNG images preserving the original visual quality and without re-compressing the files.
File Repair™ has no specific requirements, happily running in all versions of Windows including XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 8 in their 32-bit and 64-bit editions. The tool does not require administrative privileges and uses read-only access to files being repaired, providing the safest recovery environment possible.
Using File Repair™ is little different from using Windows Explorer. To fix a file, simply select it in the main window and click the “Repair” button. You can also preview any file before repairing it. If the file can be fixed, you’ll see the correct preview. The preview is available in both full and evaluation versions of File Repair™. In addition to the visual preview, File Repair™ offers a low-level HEX editor allowing you to review the content of corrupted files in binary mode. This feature is in high demand in data recovery labs.
