What this repairs

Half-grey or cut-off photos — the file was copied or recovered only partly. Everything that survived is decoded and kept.
"Invalid image" / "file format not supported" — junk in front of the photo, or a broken header. With a reference photo the header is rebuilt.
Photos recovered by software that will not open — often only the small preview inside the file survived; we extract it.

When to send it to the lab instead

If many photos on the same card or phone are damaged, the card itself is failing — recovering each copy one by one gets worse results than recovering from the card. Switch the card or phone off and bring it to us. The same goes for photos encrypted by ransomware and RAW camera files.

Questions

Why is half of my photo grey?

The photo file is cut short or damaged part way through. Everything before the damage can be shown; the missing part appears grey. The rest of the picture is usually still on the original card or phone.

Why should I upload a second photo?

When the beginning of a photo (its header) is destroyed, a healthy photo from the same camera or phone supplies the missing header so the picture can be decoded again.

Is my photo kept?

Only the repaired copy is kept, for 48 hours, so we can send you the full-size file if you ask for it. It is then deleted automatically.

Can you repair photos encrypted by ransomware?

Many ransomware families encrypt only the start of each file. Those photos can often be rebuilt at our lab with a reference photo. Send one on WhatsApp for a free check.
