Loading SafeRestore...
Repair PDFs that won't open, Word documents that show 'unreadable content', JPEGs with grey bars, MP4 videos that play only audio, and Excel sheets reporting CRC errors. SafeRestore rebuilds file headers, splices intact data fragments, and extracts whatever is salvageable — even from partially-overwritten files.
Rewrites missing or damaged file headers (the first few hundred bytes that tell software how to open the file) so the file can be parsed again.
Walks the disk for data clusters belonging to a corrupted file and stitches them together in the correct order, even when intermediate sectors are missing.
When a file can't be perfectly restored, SafeRestore extracts every readable page, frame, or cell — partial recovery is often better than total loss.
Full file repair + fragment splicing + partial recovery. One-time purchase, lifetime license.

Most corruption comes from interrupted writes — yanked USB sticks, sudden power loss, full disks, software crashes during save, or cloud-sync conflicts. Bad sectors on aging drives also cause corruption. The data is usually still there; only the structure that tells software how to read it is broken.
Often yes. Most PDF corruption is in the cross-reference table at the end of the file — SafeRestore rebuilds this table by walking the page objects directly. If pages themselves are damaged, we extract the readable pages into a new clean PDF.
That's a missing or moved 'moov atom' — the index that tells the player where each video frame is. SafeRestore reads the raw video stream, identifies the keyframes, and rebuilds a fresh moov atom so the file plays normally.
Yes, partially. Grey bars mean the JPEG decoder hit corrupted data and gave up. SafeRestore re-decodes from the corrupted point onward using error correction; you typically recover 70-95% of the original image.
Repair works on the file's structure, not its contents. You'll still need the password to actually open the repaired file. SafeRestore does not crack or bypass passwords.
Files up to 32 GB are supported on the Recovery tier. Larger forensic disk images (64 GB+) require the Pro tier with E01 streaming support.
