Format-aware repair logic
RAW files require format-specific repair because the structure differs across camera ecosystems.

FAQ
Questions people ask before repairing this file
These answers stay focused on damaged image recovery, not generic editing or AI enhancement.
Which RAW formats does PhotoRepair support?
PhotoRepair supports ARW, CR2, DNG, and NEF, covering common Sony, Canon, Adobe, and Nikon camera workflows.
Can this help with SD card transfer corruption?
Yes. Interrupted or unreliable card transfer is one of the most common causes of RAW file corruption, and this workflow is built for that kind of structural damage.
Will my original color data remain intact?
If the underlying RAW image data is still present in the damaged file, PhotoRepair will try to preserve as much of it as possible while rebuilding readable structure.
