File recovery FAQ
Why does my ZIP say it is corrupted?
An interrupted download or a damaged directory can stop the archive from opening.
Can files be recovered from a damaged ZIP?
Often. Entry records can still identify files even when the final directory is gone.
Where is the ZIP processed?
ZIP analysis and rebuilding happen locally in your browser.
Will all contained files be complete?
Only entries with enough surviving data can be complete. Partial entries are labelled, and the report lists them.
