How To Use Stellar Photo Repair Software

Although it is very easy to use the Stellar Photo Repair tool to fix errors in your photos. Still, if you feel like there is any problem then check this guide.

1. Launch the Stellar Photo Repair software on your computer and click on the Add Files option to upload your corrupted files to the software for repair. You can also add more than one photo at a time if you have many corrupted photos. Click on the Repair button once you are ready to fix the photos.

2. After clicking on repair, the repairing process will start. Based on the number of files you have added to the software it may take some time to fix all of them. So you can wait for the process to complete.

3. Once all the photos are repaired you can see their preview on the right-side panel one by one by clicking on the photo name. After seeing the preview you can save the files in the internal storage of your device. For that, you can click on the Save Repaired Files button.

After adding a sample file there are high chances that you may repair the photo that is highly corrupted. Moreover, even if the software cannot repair the photo then it will fetch a thumbnail of it.

Stellar Photo Repair Features

1. Fix Different Photo Corruption Issues

Photos can be corrupted due to various reasons but you don’t have to worry about it because this software has the ability to fix various corruption errors like the one caused by a non-valid image file structure, missing SOS marker, unknown markers, corrupt headers, etc. Overall, in my test, I found that it can efficiently repair inaccessible, blurry, greyed-out, and distorted images for you.

2. Advanced Photo Repair

Repairing some photos is more complicated than others because they are severely corrupted and cannot be fixed using normal means. But you get the Advance Photo Repair feature on this software that allows you to repair a highly corrupted photo using a sample photo of the same format and shot from the same device. While using this tool, I found that this feature is only applicable for JPEG photos which is a letdown but you can easily convert any photo to JPEG using free online tools.

3. Preview Of Repaired Photos

After repairing you can see the preview of photos so that before saving them to your device you can check whether the photos are actually repaired or not. This saves you time and effort from saving unrepaired photos to your device.

4. Repair Multiple Photos At Once

If you have multiple corrupted photos then you are in luck. You don’t have to waste time repairing them one by one as this software allows you to fix all the corrupted photos at once.

5. Fetch Thumbnail From Irreparable Photos

Some photos are just dead you cannot revive them no matter what you do. But while testing I noticed that this software can fetch a thumbnail from that photo, which is a good thing. A thumbnail is a small-sized version of the actual photo.

Performance

In terms of the performance of this software, we have no issue as such. On the contrary, we are quite satisfied with what this lightweight tool can do. We tested it on various photos that we manually corrupted using online tools and it was able to fix most of them. However, some of the photos were in PNG format but we had to convert them to JPEG format.

This software does not support all photo formats which is a downside of it. That said, you can easily convert a photo to other formats using free online tools, so it’s not that big of an issue. Overall, the performance of the software is quite good and it can fix most of the issues that cause photos to get corrupted. Data Recovery Adviser team approves it!

If you just wish to repair your corrupted photos then you can settle for the Standard version. But, if you want also to recover deleted photos along with repairing them then the Professional version is better. However, out of the three, the professional version is the most value for money and if you are confused then you should go with it without any doubts.
