RS File Repair is a program that analyzes and repairs broken or damaged images on your PC.

Over the years, people amass a library of images on their devices. Some of these collections are massive and unfortunately a good many of them are broken or damaged. RS File Repair addresses this dilemma with its system of image repair. Its mission is to find and repair those images that are no longer accessible for one reason or another. It does so in a simple format by checking each type of image file and determining which ones need to be repaired.

One of the biggest gripes with this program is that it does not handle .GIF images, a very popular image format that many people will be disappointed aren't repaired by this program. If you don't use a lot of .GIFs, you're fine using this program. If you're looking to repair .GIFs, look elsewhere.

Formats that are handled include PNG, TIFF, TIF, JFIF, JPE, JPEG, and JPG. Its repair steps don't need to be learned. Everything is automated. The Lossless Recovery feature will please those perfectionists who don't want to sacrifice image quality when they do their repair.

Its technique for recovery is splicing. Broken images are spliced back together and any corrupt data is unscrambled so that it makes the image readable again. The analysis is fairly quick although when images are badly broken, it can take additional time to render them accessible again. It's efficient and thorough in its operations and many people report good success recovering images with this program.
