A quote by Karl Lagerfeld “What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
This is a very true quote about photographs but what will you do when your photographs got corrupt or damage? There are several choices that you could do:
- Get emotional and do nothing to repair them
- Give the photographs to your friend or family member for repairing
- Try a free software
- Choose a right and secure software
Option one could be the first reaction because many users are not aware of repairing techniques. The second option is better than first, but there is a chance that your photos (JPEG or JPG) could be more corrupt by using this option.
I tried to find a free tool over the internet, and I get an Online repair tool. I select my corrupt file and press the repair button. The repairing process was running for 5 minutes, and I get the message to share their product on social media to get the link to my repaired image. In next step, I shared their product on my social media profile and was waiting to get the link to my repaired image, but I didn’t get any connection from them. It was just a promotion idea. That free tool didn’t work for me so; option number three also seems useless.
Option four is one of the best and secure ways to repair your photographs. Always choose a right software to repair your corrupt images and read the customers reviews before buying them. Some software will repair your file but, you have to compromise with the image quality.
For choosing the best JPEG repair software, I downloaded few software on my PC. All were good with their results but I found Stellar Phoenix JPEG Repair software better than others so, you can choose it as a fourth option. It has several useful features and it is available for Windows as well as Mac OS.
Yes, it is reliable as well as secure for you. Its demo version is free for every user. Install this software on your machine and follow these steps:
- Add your corrupt file using Add File option.
- Select your JPEG/JPG file(s) for repairing.
- For repairing, click on the Repair button.
- See the preview in the right pane and save the file.
You can also check the status of your file during repairing process. It has three states: Completed, Repairing, and Queued. You could also stop the repairing process in the middle using Stop button.
Note: The process is same for Mac version with one additional advantage of drag and drops feature to add files.
Conclusion
This blog is also very useful even for those users who don’t have so much information about the JPEG repairing tool. You can try your luck with option number three i.e. free JPEG repair tool but, I will recommend you to choose a secure and safe software to repair your images.
