Best Image Repair

Best Image Repair is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you recover damaged or corrupted image files. It works with only two file formats, namely JPEG and TIFF, and is able to process photos of any size.
Damaged images cannot be opened but, in case you manage to do so, they present colorful lines. Some typical error messages indicate that your files are corrupted (e.g. no preview available, this document may be damaged).

Simple looks

The utility reveals a clean feature lineup where you can add pictures in the working environment using the built-in browse button (you cannot rely on the drag-and-drop support).
A help manual is not included in the package, which means you need to do all of the work by yourself. The repairing process is automatic and pretty easy to decode but not the same thing can be said about the configuration settings, which may leave rookies puzzled.
The log panel is integrated directly into the main window so you can easily check out details about all your actions and possible errors.

Image repairing process

Best Image Repair gives you the possibility to pick the source image that you want to process and choose the saving directory. In addition, you may opt for a quick saving mode.
The tool does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory. Although it may become unresponsive at times, the utility needs extra in order to finish the process and regains its initial state at the end of the job.

Bottom line

All things considered, Best Image Repair provides a straightforward suite of features for helping you repair damaged images. A help manual is still needed for less experienced users in order to clarify some of the tool’s capabilities.
