Figure out what broke.

Upload a damaged, unknown, or suspicious file and see exactly what survived. Everything runs locally in your browser β€” files are never uploaded to a server.

[ID]

Unknown File Identifier

Basically "what the hell is this file?" β€” scans magic bytes against 120+ known formats and tells you what it actually is.

Open tool β†’
[MAP]

Hex Damage Map

Visualize where a file deviates from its expected structure β€” missing headers, missing trailers, truncation, zeroed-out regions.

Open tool β†’
[BIN]

Binary Structure Viewer

See exactly how a file is built β€” a synchronized structure tree, hex view, and field inspector, plus entropy, strings, and embedded-signature scanning.

Open tool β†’
[PDF]

PDF Structure Inspector

Walks the real object graph, xref table or stream, and page tree of a PDF β€” click any object to follow its references, decode its stream, and see exactly what's broken.

Open tool β†’
[SQL]

Database Damage Inspector

Walks a SQLite database's real header, schema, B-trees, and pages β€” recovers table SQL, previews rows, and finds exactly which pages are damaged.

Open tool β†’
[DSK]

Disk / Image Forensics

Reads a raw disk image's real MBR/GPT partition tables and NTFS MFT, maps damaged regions, and carves known file signatures β€” read-only, original image never touched.

Open tool β†’
[FIX]

File Header Repair

Detect wrong or missing magic bytes, see exactly what should be there, and patch a repaired copy for download.

Open tool β†’
[ZIP]

Broken ZIP / Archive Inspector

Walks the central directory, falls back to a raw local-header scan when it's damaged, and lists whatever can still be recovered.

Open tool β†’
[ENC]

Encoding Detector / Repair

BOM problems, mojibake, invalid UTF-8, and mixed line endings β€” diagnosed and fixed with a downloadable clean copy.

Open tool β†’
[SUM]

Checksum Lab

CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 β€” compute, compare against a known hash, or diff two files against each other.

Open tool β†’
[ALL]

Corrupted File Analyzer

Classifies what's actually wrong, estimates how much is recoverable where that's a real computable thing, and tells you which tool to open next.

Open tool β†’
[IMG]

Image Salvage

Diagnoses a broken JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, or WebP, shows whatever the browser can still decode, carves out embedded/concatenated images, and pulls surviving EXIF and thumbnails.

Open tool β†’
[EXF]

Metadata Recovery

Recovers EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and ICC metadata from JPEG and TIFF-based files β€” every camera field, embedded thumbnail, and GPS block, kept private until you choose to reveal it.

Open tool β†’
[DAT]

JSON / XML Repair

Diagnoses and repairs malformed or truncated JSON and XML β€” trailing commas, unquoted keys, unclosed tags, missing braces β€” and reports exactly what it changed.

Open tool β†’
[CFG]

Config File Validator

Validates YAML, TOML, .env, and INI files β€” tabs in YAML indentation, unterminated TOML strings, unquoted .env values, malformed INI sections β€” with the exact line and why.

Open tool β†’
[CSV]

CSV Repair / Validator

Real quote-aware CSV parsing β€” detects the delimiter, unterminated quoted fields, wrong column counts, and duplicate headers, with a row-by-row preview.

Open tool β†’
[DOC]

Office Document Repair

DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and ODT are ZIP+XML packages β€” this walks the real ZIP central directory, CRC-verifies each required part, and recovers readable text, cells, and embedded media.

Open tool β†’
[CUT]

Truncated File Detector

Finds out whether a file ended before its structure was actually complete β€” real declared-size, chunk, and entry-count evidence, not just a missing-footer guess β€” then routes you to the right recovery tool.

Open tool β†’
[LOG]

Log File Analyzer

Detects the format (JSON Lines, Apache/Nginx, syslog, generic timestamped), spots truncation, out-of-order timestamps, and encoding damage, and breaks down log levels.

Open tool β†’
[AUD]

Audio File Inspector

Walks WAV's real RIFF chunk structure and checks declared vs. actual size, validates MPEG frame sync across an MP3, and reads ID3v1/ID3v2 tags.

Open tool β†’
[VID]

Video File Inspector

Real box/chunk/element walk for MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM β€” including the classic "recording got interrupted" missing-index problem.

Open tool β†’
[CRT]

Certificate / Key File Inspector

Real ASN.1/DER structure walk for a PEM or DER certificate, CSR, or private key β€” subject, issuer, a computed expired check, key size, and extensions including SANs.

Open tool β†’
[CRV]

File Carver

Scans every offset in a file or disk image against the full 122-entry signature database and extracts embedded files using their real end-of-file markers.

Open tool β†’
[BIN]

Executable Inspector

Real PE, ELF, and Mach-O header parsing β€” architecture, entry point, sections/segments, and library dependencies for a Windows EXE/DLL, Linux binary, or macOS Mach-O that won't run.

Open tool β†’
[ARC]

Archive Recovery Lab

Real decompression and CRC verification for GZIP and TAR, plus structural/header-CRC integrity checks for 7-Zip, RAR, XZ, and BZIP2 archives that won't open.
