Battery died, card pulled out, camera crashed. The file won't open, but the recording is still inside. FootageRescue puts it back together, right in your browser.
Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
For audio recorders that stopped mid-take: Zoom, Tascam, Rode, Sound Devices and any PCM or BWF WAV. Your original file is never changed.
Built by a podcast and video studio in Rome, after losing a 44-minute interview to a dead battery.
Every video repair starts with a free 20-second preview of your recovered footage. No preview, no payment.
Client footage, NDAs, private moments: the file is repaired on your own computer and never leaves it.
Tens of gigabytes are fine. The file is read piece by piece straight from your disk, not loaded all at once.
If the first method doesn't give a clean result, the next one runs on its own. You don't need to know which.
We always write a new file. You can try again, or try something else, as many times as you want.
If a file can't be saved, you get the reason and what to try next, in plain words. And you pay nothing.
The same four steps for every video file. WAV repair is free and skips the payment.
Free. It's read on your computer.
The start of your recovered video, with a big watermark.
One file or a 12-month pass. Secure checkout.
If the full file doesn't match the preview, tell us within 14 days.
