Repair a corrupted JPEG.
Preserve the pixels that remain.
Openable checks JPEG markers, decodes the image, and preserves the photo data that remains.
Supports .jpg and .jpeg files with missing endings, truncation, selected structural damage, and recoverable encoded image data.Try the private recovery toolCheck files you care about.
Choose a folder or just a few files. Openable checks them privately in this browser, then shows you which ones may need attention.
Chrome or Edge will ask for read access before a folder scan. Openable does not upload the folder.
A JPEG can be partly readable even when normal photo apps reject it.
JPEG files contain headers, dimensions, tables, scan data, and an end marker. Openable uses strict decoding to identify complete and partial photo data.

File recovery FAQ
Can a corrupted JPG be repaired?
Yes, when useful JPEG structure and image data remain. A missing ending may allow complete recovery; deeper damage may yield only a partial photo.
Why does the JPEG show only part of the image?
A transfer or save may have ended early, leaving only the first encoded rows.
How are missing areas handled?
Openable preserves supported original pixels and clearly marks missing areas.
Are JPG and JPEG both supported?
Yes. The extensions refer to the same image format and are handled by the same recovery checks.
