Repair damaged JPG, PNG, HEIC, RAW, PSD, AI, and more. Best for files with broken headers, marker errors, or partial rendering. Max 250MB per file, up to 10 files.
Free plan includes:
Buy clean exports or go Pro for unlimited clean downloads and batch repair
JPG, PNG, HEIC, RAW, PSD, AI, and other damaged image formats all start from this one workspace.
Track each file as it moves from analysis to repair without losing the page context.
Compare the repaired output, check download access, and immediately start another pass from the same surface.
PhotoRepair is built for damaged image files that will not open, render only part of the image, or fail after transfer and sync. It rebuilds broken structure locally in your browser, so there is no upload queue and no file leaves your device.
Repair JPG, JPEG, and PNG files that fail with header damage, invalid markers, or incomplete saves.
Recover files that render partially after transfer, sync, export, or card corruption issues.
Open damaged HEIC, RAW, PSD, AI, and other format-aware files with repair logic built for structure recovery.
Keep client photos, internal creative files, and source images on-device while the repair runs in your browser.
Trust layer
PhotoRepair combines local processing, broad format support, and file-level repair so teams can evaluate corrupted images quickly before usable data is lost.
Workflow
This is the core recovery flow for damaged image files: add the broken file, let PhotoRepair rebuild readable structure, then preview and download the repaired result.
Drag in the image that will not open, only renders partly, or fails with a format error.
PhotoRepair inspects headers, markers, and format-specific blocks to recover a readable structure.
Review the repaired result in the same workspace, then save the recovered file back to your device.
Access
Free is ideal for trying a repair. Export packs are best for one-off recovery work, while Pro is better for recurring clean downloads and batch repair.
Format coverage
JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WEBP

Open repair guideFAQ
These are the questions people ask most when choosing a corrupted image repair tool: file types, privacy, partial renders, and what the repair can realistically recover.
PhotoRepair is designed for file-level image damage: files that will not open, only render halfway, fail after transfer, or throw format errors such as broken headers, invalid markers, and damaged container structure.
PhotoRepair supports 15+ formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WEBP, HEIC, AVIF, ARW, CR2, DNG, NEF, PSD, AI, and SVG. The repair engine uses format-aware logic instead of treating every file the same way.
No. The repair flow runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly, which means private client photos, internal design files, and sensitive source images stay on your device.
Yes. Partial rendering often means the file still contains valid image data but the structure is damaged later in the file. PhotoRepair can often recover a more usable version by rebuilding readable structure around the valid data that remains.
No. PhotoRepair focuses on corrupted file recovery, not cosmetic enhancement. It is built to fix damaged image files so they can open again, not to retouch pixels, remove blur, or restore old printed photos.
