Frequently asked questions
Can you repair any corrupted PNG file?
Many of them — broken headers, bad indexes and interrupted downloads recover well. Severely truncated files may only partly recover; the tool tells you honestly instead of producing a broken result.
Will I lose quality?
Repair rebuilds structure, not pixels or samples — where the original data is readable it is kept as-is. Only when a stream must be re-encoded is there any change, and the tool prefers a lossless rebuild first.
Is it free and private?
Yes — free, no watermark, no signup, and files are processed in an isolated workspace and removed shortly after download.
