Overview

We are Software Developers with considerable expertise regarding to JPEG file format - the file format of digicams.
We have real knowledge of repairing JPEG scan errors (see JPEG errors), our competitors are unable to do this.
We do not use third party recovery software that only performs a simple file system recovery. You could do this by yourself.
Our product VG JPEG Recovery Server (see Product) restores specific JPEG file stream errors that occur e.g. by deletion, data carrier- or transfer-errors. This server application is the result of united work of our software developers and our JPEG experts and subject to continuous improvement.
No shipping of your memory card is needed. You can upload your memory card directly to our upload server (see Login / Upload).
Some competitors offer a 'free-of-cost' examination. Once your memory card is sent, you have to believe the providers statements.
We act openly.

Although present on the memory card, sometimes photo files cannot be viewed with any software because the data carrier is broken or you have deleted the photo files by mistake. Fortunately, if you can´t see the JPG files, this does not mean that they aren´t anymore stored on the memory card! With JPEG experts' knowledge and accumulating years of our experience in photo recovery, a recovery could be possible. In case of an error, what you get is error messages like

  • File cannot be opened
  • Unknown file type
  • Corrupted head
  • Invalid JPEG marker
  • Unknown JPEG marker
  • Unknown JPEG format
  • Cannot read JPG header
  • Corrupt JPEG data
  • Invalid JPEG file structure

When this happens, many users lose hope to see their images again, yet the photos are an irreplaceable memory.

In many cases it is possible to repair damaged photo files and to make them readable again. We offer a low-priced service of examining if your photo files can be recovered - direct on this website.

The most frequent data corruptions in image files are unique. Therefore a restoring is only possible with JPEG experts' knowledge and experience in pictures restoring. If we gained your confidence, just check our service at Purchase.
