File Repair Software for Corrupted Photos and Images

Hetman File Repair™ 1.1

File Repair™ repairs corrupted or incomplete files, including files that remain damaged or cannot be opened correctly after data recovery.

The software analyzes the internal structure of supported files, repairs damaged headers and structural errors, and attempts to reconstruct the data that remains intact. This can make damaged files accessible again for viewing, editing, or further processing.

File Repair™ is designed to run on Microsoft Windows XP.

When File Repair Is Useful

File Repair™ is designed for files that still exist but are corrupted, incomplete, or cannot be opened correctly. It analyzes the available file content and attempts to repair damaged structures or extract usable data that remains intact.

Repairs Files After Data Recovery

Repairs Files After Data Recovery

Files recovered from deleted, formatted, or damaged storage may sometimes be incomplete or structurally corrupted. File Repair™ analyzes such files and attempts to reconstruct their internal structure so that the remaining content can be opened and used.

Files Damaged by Bad Sectors

Files Damaged by Bad Sectors

If part of a file was stored in unreadable or damaged sectors, the recovered file may contain missing or corrupted data. File Repair™ can analyze the available content and repair supported structural damage when enough original data remains intact.

Files Damaged by Malware

Files Damaged by Malware

Malware or other software may alter file headers or damage parts of a file’s internal structure. File Repair™ can analyze the remaining data and attempt to reconstruct a usable file when its original content has not been completely overwritten.

Features

File Repair™ analyzes the internal structure and content of damaged image files to identify structural errors and recover the information that remains intact. The software can repair supported file formats, preview the result before saving, and inspect damaged files at the binary level with the integrated HEX Editor.

Repair Corrupted Digital Pictures

Repairing JPEG

File Repair™ repairs corrupted *.JPEG, *.JPG, *.JPE, and *.JFIF images. The software works with the internal JPEG structure and repairs available image data without re-encoding it. Both the main image and embedded thumbnail can be rebuilt, while available EXIF metadata is preserved.

Repairing TIFF

File Repair™ repairs damaged and corrupted *.TIFF, *.TIF, *.FAX, *.G3, and *.G4 files. The software supports Windows and Mac TIFF images, including uncompressed files and TIFF images compressed with LZW, JPEG, PackBits, CCITT 1D, Group 3 Fax, and Group 4 Fax algorithms.

Repairing PNG and BMP

File Repair™ repairs damaged raster images in *.PNG, *.BMP, *.DIB, and *.RLE formats. The software supports LZ77-compressed PNG files and can extract BMP images stored inside resource files. Available PNG image data is repaired without unnecessary re-compression.

System Requirements

File Repair™ is designed to run on Microsoft Windows XP. The software does not require administrative privileges and uses read-only access to the original files being repaired, so the source files remain unchanged during analysis and repair.

Preview and HEX Editor

File Repair™ provides a simple workflow for analyzing and repairing damaged files. Select a file in the main window and click “Repair” to analyze its contents and attempt to reconstruct the available data.

The built-in preview lets you evaluate the available image content and repair result before saving the file. Preview is available in both the evaluation and registered versions of File Repair™.

For low-level inspection, the integrated HEX Editor displays the binary contents of a damaged file, allowing you to examine its internal data directly.
