Rescue Your
Corrupted Photos
Some images look fine in your photo viewer but Metadata Fixer can't process them? This plugin automatically repairs damaged files so you don't lose your precious memories.
Why Are Some Photos Corrupted?
It's not your fault. There are many ways image files can become damaged:
Download Interruptions
Google Takeout creates massive ZIP files (sometimes 50GB+). If your internet connection hiccups during download, parts of the file can become corrupted. The ZIP extracts fine, but individual images inside may be damaged.
Server-Side Processing
Google processes millions of export requests. Occasionally, their servers produce files with truncated data or broken headers. These files look normal but have structural issues that prevent proper metadata handling.
Format Conversion Issues
When you upload photos to Google Photos, they're often re-encoded for storage. During export, this process can sometimes produce files with subtle encoding errors that prevent them from being processed correctly.
Camera & Software Bugs
Some cameras and photo editing software produce images with non-standard or slightly malformed metadata structures. These files work in most apps but fail when tools try to read their internal data precisely.
How the Plugin Fixes Your Photos
Our repair tool analyzes and reconstructs damaged image data automatically.
Detect
Identifies files with broken headers, truncated data, or encoding errors that prevent normal processing.
Repair
Reconstructs file headers and fixes structural issues using advanced repair algorithms.
Save
Outputs repaired images that can be properly processed while preserving maximum quality.
Why is this a separate plugin?
Most people won't encounter corrupted files. We believe it's unfair to charge everyone for a feature that only some users need.
By offering this as an optional plugin, we keep Metadata Fixer affordable for everyone while providing a solution for those who encounter this issue. You only pay if you need it.
It Works, or Your Money Back
Not every corrupted file can be saved - some are too damaged. If the plugin doesn't fix any of your files, we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.

Frequently Asked Questions
The image opens fine on my computer. Why can't Metadata Fixer process it?
Photo viewers are designed to be very forgiving - they'll display whatever they can render, even from a damaged file. But tools that need to read and write metadata require the file's internal structure to be correct. If the structure is broken, the file can't be processed safely, even if it looks perfectly fine in your photo viewer.
Will it fix ALL my corrupted photos?
The plugin can repair most common corruption issues like broken headers and structural problems. However, if a file is severely damaged (most of the image data is missing), it may not be recoverable. That's why we offer a money-back guarantee - if it doesn't help, you get a full refund.
Do I need Metadata Fixer to use this plugin?
Yes, this is a plugin that runs inside Metadata Fixer. You'll need a Metadata Fixer license ($39) plus this plugin ($9.99). The plugin integrates seamlessly - just enable it in the settings and it will automatically attempt to repair any corrupted files during processing.
What file formats are supported?
The plugin supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP files - the most common image formats.
How do I know if I have corrupted files?
When Metadata Fixer processes your files, any that can't be read properly will appear in the "Errors" section. If you see error messages about unreadable or corrupted images, this plugin can help.
Where can I buy this plugin?
You can purchase directly on this page using the "Buy Now" button, or through the Plugin Marketplace inside Metadata Fixer. Use the same email address as your Metadata Fixer license.
What's your refund policy?
If the plugin doesn't successfully repair any of your corrupted files, contact us within 30 days for a full refund. We believe you shouldn't pay for something that doesn't work for your specific situation.
