What DiskTuna is
DiskTuna’s JPEG-Repair Toolkit combines JPEG-Repair for damaged photos with JpegDigger for recovering lost images. It runs on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11, and processes files locally on the PC rather than uploading them to remote servers. JPEG-Repair can address corrupt headers, invalid markers, bad-sector damage and JPEG bitstream errors, with visual feedback. It can also recover JPEG data from corrupt RAW photos such as Canon CR2 and Nikon NEF. JPEG-Repair does not re-encode images, preserving their original quality. The demo offers low-resolution previews, while the full version unlocks high-quality saves. Fixing a corrupt JPEG header requires a reference photo made with the same camera and settings. The toolkit does not repair PNG files and focuses on JPEG and specified RAW formats. Its listed plan includes both tools and costs €29.00 – €49.00, excluding applicable taxes. Downloads are unsigned and may trigger Windows SmartScreen warnings, including after software updates. The maker offers a refund only if the demo works on the files but the full version fails on those same files. Maker Joep van Steen says he has over 20 years of experience developing data recovery and disk utilities.
