Stellar Repair for Photo
What Stellar Repair for Photo is
Stellar Repair for Photo is desktop software for repairing damaged or corrupt JPEG/JPG and other photo files on Windows and macOS. It can repair multiple photos in one operation, and the Windows edition lists support for JPEG, RAW, TIFF, HEIC, MxPEG, and numerous camera formats. For severely corrupt JPEG files, Advanced Repair uses a sample JPEG from the same camera as the damaged file. The free evaluation download lets users preview repaired photos, but saving them requires registration. The product FAQ describes the software as read-only, so it does not edit or modify JPEG files. Windows users should note that compressed JPEG repair is unsupported and repair may fail if a JPEG marker is missing. Windows support includes 64-bit Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and Windows Server 2022, 2019, and 2016; the Mac edition supports macOS X 10.11 and later. Licenses cover one system. Listed plans are Standard at $39.99 a year, Professional at $59.99 a year, and Premium at $69.99 a year. The listed paid-from price is $49.99/yr. Purchases have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
