Private video recovery

Repair a corrupted MOV or MP4.
Keep the footage that survived.

Openable checks your video locally and tries to save the footage and sound that remain. Your original stays unchanged.

Supports MOV and MP4 recordings. Recovery depends on the codec, file layout, surviving media, and browser limits.Try the private recovery tool

Check files you care about, privately.

Nothing is uploaded Originals stay untouched You choose what Openable can read

Chrome or Edge asks for read access before a folder scan. Openable does not upload the folder.

What this means

A damaged video may still contain playable footage.

A broken index, interrupted save, or damaged ending can stop a video from opening.

Openable checks the surviving structure and media before offering a recovery path.

Missing footage cannot be recreated. Partial and unverified results are clearly labelled.

Common questions

File recovery FAQ

Can a corrupted MOV or MP4 be repaired?

Sometimes. Recovery depends on the surviving data and the supported codec and file layout. Openable reports when it cannot verify a usable copy.

Are MOV and MP4 repaired in the same way?

Both use the same recovery workflow in Openable. The codec and file structure matter more than the filename extension.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Video contents stay in your browser. Optional monitoring sends only limited recovery categories, never your video or filename.

Can Openable recover a deleted video?

No. Select an existing file your browser can read. Deleted-file recovery is a different task.
