Format-aware repair logic
PNG corruption is often structural, not visual, which makes file-level repair the right first step.

FAQ
Questions people ask before repairing this file
These answers stay focused on damaged image recovery, not generic editing or AI enhancement.
Can PhotoRepair fix PNG files with chunk errors?
Yes. PNG files commonly fail because chunk structure is invalid or incomplete, and PhotoRepair is built to inspect and recover that layout where possible.
Will the repaired PNG keep transparency?
If the original alpha and image data are still available in the damaged file, PhotoRepair will try to preserve them during repair.
Does this help with screenshots and design exports?
Yes. Broken screenshots, UI assets, and exported graphics are strong candidates, especially when the file became corrupted after sync or save interruption.
