How to recover corrupted image files

Recovering accidentally deleted photos from your computer, memory cards or other storage devices is a very simple process, and there are many tools you can use in order to achieve this goal. However, there are situations in which some of the recovered pictures become damaged or corrupted during the process, making them unviewable. Pictures might also get corrupted during power failures, in case of virus infections, interrupted network transfers, and other scenarios. Luckily, there are a few applications that can help you fix this problem, and I will show you how to do that in the following guide.

For this demonstration, I have chosen File Repair because it is a free-to-use utility that is quite easy to use, and it can even help you repair other types of corrupted or damaged files, not just photos.

Here is a simple step-by-step guide for repairing your corrupted images

Step 1

After launching File Repair, select the desired photo you want to repair by clicking on the "browse" button. You can open JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PNG or RAW images.

Step 2

Once you have provided the path to your corrupted picture, simply click on the "Start Repair" button to begin the process. Additionally, you can change the output location by clicking on the "Change" link or directly open the output folder by clicking on "Browse".

Step 3

Wait for the process to be completed (the status will be displayed in the "Process log" area), and you can start using your repaired pictures in any way you desire.
