What this means

A JPEG can be partly readable even when photo apps reject it.

A JPEG stores its size, color tables, and image data in order.

Common questions

File recovery FAQ

Can a corrupted JPG be repaired?

Yes, when enough photo data remains. A missing ending often allows full recovery. Deeper damage may give only a partial photo.

Why does the JPEG show only part of the image?

A transfer or save can stop early, leaving only the first rows of the image.

How are missing areas handled?

Openable keeps the original pixels it can read. It marks the areas it could not recover.

Are JPG and JPEG both supported?

Yes. Both names refer to the same format and use the same checks.
