• Wondershare Repairit uses advanced techniques for recovery

The software makes use of Artificial Intelligence to identify data and be able to repair videos and photos of various formats and devices (camera and smartphone). The user has access to the preview of the repair results of the files, and thus can confirm whether the restoration was satisfactory or not.

The program’s interface offers a complete experience with technical information. However, despite the detailed information, the entire design is made so that the interface is user-friendly and intuitive, even for less experienced users.

So let’s see how easy it is to use Wondershare Recoverit!

There are three steps to be followed to restore these files, whether video or photo:

1. Open files in Repairit
2. Repair the desired photo or video
3. Save the recovery, and you’re done!

It couldn’t be easier. But let’s go to the step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Add files to Repairit

It is possible to add the corrupted files to the software in two ways: by clicking in the center of the program’s start screen, on Add video/photo and start repairing.  You can also click the + Add button to add the corrupted files. Remember that you can repair videos in MOV, MP4, M4V, M2TS, MKV, MTS, 3GP, AVI, FLV, MXF and INSV formats and photos in JPEG, JPG, CR3, CR2, NEF, NRW, RAF, DNG formats , ARW, GPR.

In Repairit, files of different formats can also be repaired at the same time. Once the files are added, the program automatically starts the analysis and shows the video/photo information, such as name, size, resolution, display time (in the case of videos) and even the equipment.

 Step 2: Repair the desired photo or video

After the scan is finished and all files have been processed and loaded correctly by the software, it’s time to start the repair. Just click on the Repair button. It may take some time, but once everything is done, a window will appear asking the user to save or preview the recovered content to confirm that the result was as expected. To see the repaired video/photo, click on Preview and see the final result, to check if it’s what you expected.

If all the recovered files are to your liking, click Save All, which automatically stores everything at once. If you want to save one at a time, click Save and the location to save the files will appear on the screen. Just remember not to save on the same storage where the files were corrupted. After that, just wait.

But… what if the recovered video/photo doesn’t match the intended one? You should then use the advanced repair tool. Click on the folder icon and add a sample video/photo, which is a perfectly fine file created on the same device and in the same format as the corrupted file. This functionality will use this information to make a more objective repair. Once the information is gathered, Repairit will check whether the corrupted file is suitable for the Advanced Repair function. Click on Repair, where another process will be started. This may take a little longer as the verification and repair will be more thorough.

Step 3: Save Recovery

Click Save and choose a Location on your device to save the new files. And it’s done! Now that you know a solution for recovering photos and videos, you can feel more relaxed when an unexpected problem reoccurs. If you’ve already used this tool, let us know how your experience was.
