Photo and video repair for Windows and Mac
Photos and video that have gone wrong. Find the damaged ones, carve files off a card, mend what can be mended, and diagnose what cannot.
4 programs, free while we’re in preview. One file each. No account, no installer, nothing to uninstall.
Decode every photo in a folder and learn which ones are actually still good.
The Simple one of the 4: it keeps the settings to a minimum and picks sensible defaults for you, so there is almost nothing to learn before it is useful.
Carves photos out of a card image whose filesystem is already gone.
The Vertical one of the 4: it is tuned for that work specifically, with presets and reports built around it rather than every setting under the sun.
Scan years of photo folders in one run, and rescue JPEGs that lost their tail.
The Pro one of the 4: it adds the deeper settings and finer control that people who use it every day ask for, without getting in the way on a quick job.
Explains why a video won't play, without a single line of codec code.
The Team one of the 4: it adds what a team needs: command-line control for scripts, settings you can roll out across machines, and a record of everything that ran.
Reading on this job
- How to recover photos from a memory card The first thing to do is stop using the card. The second is to copy it into a file, and work on the copy.
- Why won't this video play? A video that will not open has usually failed for one of four reasons, and the file itself will tell you which.
What all 4 of them do the same way
- Nothing is deleted. Anything a program removes is moved somewhere you can get it back from, and anything that changes files shows you the whole plan before it touches one.
- Nothing is reported back to us. No program here signs you in, phones home or counts what you did. The ones that use the network at all use it because that is the job — fetching a file you asked for, reaching a machine you named — and nowhere else.
- One file. Download it and run it. There is no installer, no runtime to fetch and nothing left behind if you delete it.
- The window and the command line are the same program. Double-click it for the window; give it arguments and the same binary runs as a command-line tool.
- The source is published for every program here, next to the download.
