4.3. Advance Repair

In case your image file is severely corrupted, the application allows you to repair it by adding a Sample File to it. The Advance Repair feature is available only for the JPEG/JPG and HEIC files.

A Sample File is a working file created from the same device and of the same format as of the corrupted file. However, it can be of any size. Stellar Repair for Photo uses the information from the working sample file and repairs the corrupted file.
