Software to repair JPEG marker type corruption ???

I have a couple of corrupted JPEG files and I am unable to open them due to 'invalid JPEG marker type'.

Hi, Tom.

This Google Search turned up two suggestions:

1. Be sure the file has extension .jpg or .jpeg

2. Try opening the file in Graphic Converter, then performing a Save As. For Graphic Converter, click here.

There is no software that will fix corrupted files since there is no way of knowing what the file contained before it was corrupted.

If these files have been on your computer for some time, this is why one should implement and use a comprehensive "Backup and Recovery" solution.

Good luck!
