Repair JPEGs with this easy to use app

Duncan Evans

Manufacturer: Stellar Info
Manufacturer: Stellar Info
Pros: Simple, easy to use interface, can extract thumbnails from images
Cons: Limited to JPEGs, can’t find deleted files or corrupted ones missing headers, own Photo Recovery software is more useful, both packages should be combined as one, too expensive for just one function.
Price: €31 (£25)
We rate this 2 out of 5.Star rating:

If there’s one thing you never want to lose in the digital age, it’s your photos. Unfortunately hard drives, viruses, crashes and deleting images can all conspire together to take those images away from you.

The idea behind JPEG repair is to locate damaged JPEGs, repair the file structure and save the new version, leaving the original untouched. To this end it has a very simple interface with just two options: Repair JPEG or Extract Thumbnail for an image. The main option is Repair JPEG and this leads to a file browser whereby you can select the damaged files. It works as a batch process so multiple files can be selected. However, here’s where the fun starts.
