What FixFile is
FixFile is a browser-based tool that repairs corrupted MP4 and MOV videos by rebuilding a missing or broken container index. It can help when the video media was written but the index is damaged. Users can view a free low-resolution preview before deciding whether to pay for the full HD download, which costs $4.99, paid once as a one-time payment after preview and only if the repair works. Video files are processed in the browser, not uploaded to FixFile or a third party. Repair works offline after the page loads; the optional payment step needs an internet connection. A healthy clip from the same device and recording settings can serve as a template, but a reference file is not required. FixFile does not support WebM, MKV, AVI, or audio-only formats, and it cannot reconstruct media that was never written, such as a truly zero-byte file. Checkout is handled by Payhip; FixFile says it does not receive or store card details. If a user pays, the repaired file is temporarily saved in browser IndexedDB and deleted when the download begins or after 24 hours.

Who it suits
FixFile may suit people with corrupted MP4 or MOV files from action cameras, drones, dashcams, OBS recordings, weddings, events, or phone transfers. It is not for unsupported formats or media that was never written.
Verdict
FixFile offers an in-browser repair flow with a preview before its one-time payment. Its format limits and inability to recover unwritten media are important to keep in mind.
